Can You Pass English 101?

19/21. Question about prepositions debatable;

David Roy, This way up is how to stack the box.

vasilounisv, I know I’m old school— 77 — but as an English major I was taught that one never ends a sentence with a preposition.

19/21. Disagree with the answer of question 5.

Disagree vociferously with the 5 and 6 answers. First of all, login is definitely a verb………it is an action .What are you considering it to be? A noun? No way, The cat lies on the bed now but yesterday, the cat would lie on the bed.So there. The original rule was to never, never, never end a sentence with a preposition. Thar rule has been amended,but not in my world. My brain will not allow it to happen. Ever!

Perk, You beat me to the punch. That response is often attributed to Winston Churchill.

20/21 but maybe I should've gotten 21/21. The question on prepositions ending a sentence could've gone either way. At any rate, this was a nice quiz, with answers. That's how people learn.

Number 10 is not really correct. The items themselves are NOT nouns, but the NAMES of the items are nouns. Your name may be Bob, but you are not a noun; your NAME is a noun.

Question for the experts. It does not require an action to login to one’s bank account? I posit that indeed it does and the word is used to define the action of logging in. I can’t think of an example where I would use the word as a noun.

crdemarti, Hear, hear. Just what we were taught in school and still correct today, in UK at least.

David Roy, how about 'goes up this way'?

20/21. An enjoyable quiz.

17/21. Enjoyed that quiz.

Of course you can end a sentence with a preposition. "The box goes this way up". How else are you going to construct this without fundamentally changing the meaning of the sentence?

crdemarti, Ditto, too!
