Choose the correctly formed question.

Answers:

The correct answer is "Which of these movies have you seen?" The affirmative sentence would look like "You have seen a specific movie." The question is formed as a question to verb object with the reverse word order.

Object

  • Sam fed the dogs. — direct object (what was fed)
  • She sent him a present. — indirect object (who received it)
  • She waited for Lucy. — prepositional object (after preposition)
  • I gave her a book. — indirect + direct object together

An object is what a verb acts on or directs its action toward. Direct = the thing affected. Indirect = the recipient. Prepositional = after a preposition.

Test: Verb + what/whom? = direct object. Verb + to/for whom? = indirect object. After a preposition? = prepositional object.

Auxiliary verb

  • Do you know? — ❌ Know you? (English requires do-support for questions)
  • She has finished. — ❌ She finished has. (auxiliary before main verb)
  • They are leaving. — ❌ They leaving. (progressive needs be)
  • He doesn't smoke. — ❌ He smokes not. (negation needs do)

Auxiliary verbs (be, have, do, and the modals) combine with main verbs to build questions, negatives, tenses, aspects, and passive voice.

Pattern: if you need to ask a question, negate, or stack tense/aspect — you need an auxiliary. The main verb carries meaning; the auxiliary carries grammar.

Questions

  • Do you like coffee? — do-support (no existing auxiliary)
  • Can she swim? — inversion (auxiliary before subject)
  • Where does he live? — wh-question
  • You're coming, aren't you? — tag question

Questions require inversion (auxiliary before subject) or do-support (add do/does/did). Types: yes/no (Do you…?), wh- (What/Where/When…?), negative (Don't you…?), tag (…isn't it?).

Rule: find the auxiliary. Move it before the subject. No auxiliary? Add do/does/did. Never use just intonation in written English (You like coffee? is not standard).

A2 | Elementary | Pre-intermediate

  • I went to the cinema yesterday. — past simple
  • I have visited Paris twice. — present perfect (life experience)
  • If it rains, I'll take an umbrella. — first conditional
  • You should see a doctor. — modal for advice

These patterns are A2 — the second CEFR level. At A2 you move past survival phrases into real grammar: past tenses, the present perfect, basic conditionals, and modals for advice/obligation.

Marker: if you can describe yesterday and give simple advice, but struggle with abstractions or nuance, you're at A2.

Easy

  • She is a teacher. — one verb form, one rule
  • I have two cats. — basic possession, short sentence
  • He doesn't like coffee. — simple negation with do-support
  • Only one answer is clearly correct; distractors are obviously wrong.

Easy marks beginner-level challenges: A1–early A2, one rule at a time, everyday vocabulary, no trick questions.

Use "Easy" when you want to build confidence on a specific rule without interference from other grammar or tricky contexts.
