Help the exhausted babysitter complete her incident report for the parents by dragging the correct nouns into the blanks.
The three children decided to put on an indoor acrobatic show while I was making dinner.
During the performance, one of them fell and lost two front teeth!
To make matters worse, the family cat chased three tiny mice into the living room, causing absolute chaos.
The three children decided to put on an indoor acrobatic show while I was making dinner.
The plural of child is completely irregular. We add "-ren" to make it children.
During the performance, one of them fell and lost two front teeth!
The word tooth changes its vowels to become the plural teeth.
To make matters worse, the family cat chased three tiny mice into the living room, causing absolute chaos.
The plural of mouse is mice. Words like "mouses" or "meeces" are grammatically incorrect!
Noun
A noun is a word that names something — a person, place, thing, idea, action, or quality. Nouns are one of the open word classes in English, alongside verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. They typically appear as the subject or object of a clause, after articles or adjectives, and as the head of a noun phrase.
Recognising nouns reliably is the foundation for nearly every other grammar topic — agreement, articles, plurals, possessives, and prepositions all depend on it. Get this right and the rest of English grammar starts to fall into place.
Grammatical number
Grammatical number is the singular vs plural distinction marked on nouns, pronouns, and verbs. Most English nouns add -s or -es to form plurals (book → books, box → boxes), but a handful keep older patterns: child → children, foot → feet, mouse → mice, sheep → sheep. Pronouns swap forms entirely (I → we, he → they).
Number governs subject-verb agreement: He goes but They go. Mismatching subject and verb (The team are/is winning) is one of the most common slips in writing — and one that catches the attention of any careful reader.
English Grammar Basics
The English Grammar Basics tag marks quizzes and explainers covering the foundations of English grammar — nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, tenses, voice, mood, and basic sentence structure.
If you're starting out or rebuilding from scratch, this is the tag to follow: every challenge under it is designed to land the core rules without burying you in exceptions. Get the basics solid here and the more advanced topics — conditionals, reported speech, inversion — stop looking like a wall of new rules and start looking like extensions of what you already know.
Humor
The Humor tag marks questions and challenges where the author has tried — subjectively, deliberately — to make the practice itself entertaining. Expect characters, scenarios, and storylines that play with absurdity: zombies, alien tourists, a chef's disaster, a roommate's complaint. The grammar rule is real; the wrapping isn't.
Humor matters because grammar drills are forgettable. Tying a rule to a story your brain wants to keep makes it stick. Filter by Humor when motivation is what you're short on, not study time.
A2 | Elementary | Pre-intermediate
A2 is the elementary level in the CEFR framework, sitting between A1 and B1. At A2 you can handle routine exchanges — ordering food, asking directions, making small talk — and describe your immediate environment in simple sentences.
Grammatically, A2 introduces past simple and past continuous, present perfect for experiences, basic modal verbs, and the first conditional. You're also picking up collocations and learning which verbs take gerunds vs. infinitives. Knowing your level here is the difference between confident progress and frustration: A2 material consolidates the basics; B1 will overwhelm you.
Difficulty: Easy
The Easy difficulty tag marks questions and challenges aimed at beginners — typically A1 or early A2 level. Expect single-rule focus, short sentences, common everyday vocabulary, and one clear correct answer. Distractors usually rule themselves out quickly.
Filter by Easy when you're rebuilding fundamentals, warming up before harder material, or testing whether you've truly internalised a basic rule before moving on. Easy doesn't mean trivial — it means the rule itself is unambiguous and the context doesn't pile on extra complications.
