11
Mary isn't like spicy food.
12
Mary doesn't like spicy food.
13
"Mary doesn't like spicy food" is correct.
14
To make a sentence negative in the simple present tense, we use "don't" for "I, you, we, and they," and "doesn't" for "he,
15
she, and it." "Mary doesn't like spicy food." Question two.
16

18
This book is the biggest than that one.
19

20
When we compare two things, we usually add "-er" to an adjective.
21
"Fast" "Faster" Big, bigger.
22
Easy, easier.
23
But watch out, if a word has three or more syllables, we use the word "more" instead.
24

but that book is more interesting than this one.

37
I bought an umbrella.
38

39

41
We use a before words that start with a consonant sound.
42
A car.
43
A banana.
44
a house.
45
But we use an before words that start with a vowel sound, an apple.
46
An idea.
47
an umbrella.
48
Question 5.
49
I think it rains tonight.
50
I think it will rain tonight.
51
I think it is raining tonight.
52
"I think it will rain tonight" is correct.
53
To talk about things that will happen in the future, we can use the future tense.
54
will + verb.
55
I will call you tomorrow.
56
She will arrive next week.
57
I think it will rain tonight.
58
Question six.
59
That phone is mine.
60
That phone is my.
61
That phone is to me.
62
If a possessive comes right before a noun, we say, "My phone." Your phone his phone Her phone.
63
Our phone, their phone.
64
But if a possessive isn't connected to a noun, we say, "That phone is mine." is yours,
65
is his, is hers, is ours, is theirs.
66
Question seven.
67
Did you saw the movie yesterday?
68
Did you see the movie yesterday?
69
Have you seen the movie yesterday?
70
Did you see the movie Yesterday is correct.
71
When we're talking about an action that happened at a specific time in the past, like yesterday, we use the simple past tense.
72
I went, he ate, you saw.
73
And to make that a question, we use "did" plus the base verb.
74
Did you go?
75
Did he eat?
76
Did you see the movie Yesterday?
77
Question eight.
78
There is some money on the table.
79
There are some monies on the table.
80
There is many money on the table.
81
There is some money on the table is correct.
82
Money is an uncountable noun, like news or air, so it's always singular.
83
And the word many refers to multiple countable items: many houses or many people.
84
But we can use some with both countable and uncountable nouns.
85
There are some people at the party, there is some money on the table.
86
Question 9.
87
Her spoke to him this morning.
88
She spoke to he this morning.
89
He spoke to her this morning.
90
When a pronoun is the subject of a sentence, we use subject pronouns.
91
I, you, he, she, we, you, they.
92
And when a pronoun is the object of a verb or a preposition, we use object pronouns.
93
Me, you, him, her, us, them.
94
He spoke to her this morning.
95
Question 10.
96
They have lived here for five years.
97
They have lived here since five years.
98
They have lived here from five years.
99
"They have lived here for five years" is correct.
100
We use "for" to talk about a whole period of time.
101
They have lived here for five years.
102
We use "since" to talk about a starting point.
103
We have been friends since 2020.
104
We use "until" to talk about an ending point.
105
She works until 6 p .m.
106
Congratulations, you've now completed the beginner section of the test.
107
If you answered seven or more of those questions correctly, your English is likely level A1.
108
If you answered nine or more correctly, you're at least level A2.
109
And now we'll begin the intermediate portion of the test.
110
Again, you should choose the correct sentence.
111
Question one.
112
"You must to finish your homework." "You must finishing your homework." "You must finish your homework."
113
You must finish your homework is correct.
114
Must is a modal verb like can, should, will, and might.
115
And when a modal verb is followed by another verb, we don't use the infinitive.
116
Instead, we use the base verb, "I can go." We might be late.
117
You must finish your homework.
118
Question two.
119
Janet never gives attention in class.
120
Janet never pays attention in class.
121
Janet never throws attention in class.
122
Janet never pays attention in class is correct.
123
To pay attention is a collocation, or a pair of words that often go together in English.
124
And when someone is listening closely to another person, we say they are paying attention.
125
Question three: Have you ever traveled to Asia?
126
Did you ever travel to Asia?
127
Have you ever traveled to Asia?
128
Have you ever traveled to Asia is correct.
129
We use the present perfect tense to talk about the past generally, in other words, when we're not talking about a specific time in the past.
130
And the structure is always the same.
131
We say have or has plus the past participle of a verb.
132
Has she ever driven a car?
133
Has he ever played volleyball?
134
Have you ever traveled to Asia?
135
Question four.
136
"If we walk slowly, we'd be late." If we walk slowly, we'll be late.
137
If we walk slowly, we'd have been late.
138
In this sentence, we have a condition that could really happen, if we walk slowly.
139
So we need to use the first conditional structure, which is: if plus present simple tense, followed by an outcome in the future tense.
140
If she gets the job, she'll be happy.
141
If he exercises every day, he'll get stronger.
142
If we walk slowly, we'll be late.
143
Question 5: Anna speaks English more fluently than her brother.
144
Anna speaks English fluenter than her brother.
145
Anna speaks English more fluent than her brother.
146
Anna speaks English more fluently than her brother is correct.
147
In this sentence, we're comparing how Anna and her brother speak.
148
And speak is a verb, so we need an adverb to modify it fluent -ly,
149
and we always use the word "more" when comparing with an adverb.
150
My dad drives more carefully than I do.
151
We can lift the box more easily if we work together.
152
Question six: To play video games is my favorite hobby.
153
Playing video games is my favorite hobby.
154
To playing video games is my favorite hobby.
155
Playing video games is my favorite hobby is correct.
156
When a verb is the subject of a sentence, we almost always use the -ing form, or the gerund.
157
Reading relaxes me.
158
Traveling helps people understand the world.
159
Playing video games is my favorite hobby.
160
Question 7: "My wife is practically a vegetarian.
161
She hardly ever eats meat.
162
She hardly never eats meat.
163
She never hardly eats meat.
164
"She hardly ever eats meat" is correct.
165
"Hardly ever" is a set phrase in English, and it means to do something very rarely.
166
We hardly ever watch TV.
167
Maria hardly ever takes a vacation.
168
My wife hardly ever eats meat.
169
Question 8.
170
Angela always says what's on her mind.
171
She doesn't beat above the bush.
172
Beat around the bush, beat beyond the bush.
173
She doesn't beat around the bush is correct.
174
To beat around the bush is an idiom that means to avoid saying something directly.
175
Angela always says what's on her mind.
176
She doesn't beat around the bush.
177
Question 9: Paul should have told his parents sooner.
178
Paul should have tell his parents sooner.
179
Paul should have been telling his parents sooner.
180
Thank you.
181
Paul "should have told his parents sooner" is correct.
182
We use "should have" plus a past participle to criticize someone or to express a regret.
183
We "should have taken the bus." I "should have eaten less." Paul should have told his parents sooner.
184
Question 10.
185
"Excuse me, could you drop off me at the station?" "Could you drop me at the station off?"
186
Could you drop me off at the station?
187
Could you drop me off at the station is correct.
188
The phrasal verb "to drop off" means to take something or someone to a location.
189
But when phrasal verbs refer to a pronoun, that pronoun always goes in the middle.
190
pick you up Take it out!
191
Let us in.
192
Could you drop me off at the station?
193
Congratulations, you've now completed the intermediate section of the test.
194
If you answered seven or more of those questions correctly, your English is likely level B1.
195
If you answered 9 or more correctly, you're probably level B2.
196
And now we'll begin the advanced section of the test.
197
Good luck.
198
Question one.
199
Wow, it's boiling today, isn't it?
200
Wow, it's boiling today, is it?
201
Wow, it's boiling today, it is?
202
"It's boiling today, isn't it?" is correct.
203
When the weather is very hot, English speakers like to say it's boiling.
204
And we use question tags, like "isn't it?" to confirm something with another person, or to make sure it's true.
205
And to make a question tag, we always use an auxiliary verb, like "have," "can," or "be," in the negative form.
206
You've seen this movie, haven't you?
207
She can speak German, can't she?
208
It's boiling today.
209
Isn't it?
210
Question two: The film's ending was open to interpretation, and more than a little, meticulous.
211
erroneous, ambiguous.
212
The word "ambiguous" means "unclear" or "difficult to pin down." Someone who's "meticulous" pays close attention to detail,
213
and something erroneous is incorrect.
214
Question three: Come next June, we will have been living here for a decade.
215
"Come next June, we have lived here for a decade." "Come next June,
216
we will be living here for a decade." "Come next June,
217
we will have been living here for a decade" is correct.
218
The future perfect continuous, "will have been" verbing, shows the length of an ongoing action up to a certain point in the future.
219
Next week, he will have been working there for six months.
220
This fall, they will have been dating for five years.
221
Come next June, we will have been living here for a decade.
222
Question four: Miriam's dream of becoming a famous singer never quite turned up.

And to kick off means to begin.
228

230
He had wasted two hours.
231
Tom finally started his essay.
232
Having wasted two hours, Tom finally started his essay.
233
We can use "having" plus a past participle to express that one action finished before a second action began.
234
"Having finished our entrees, we ordered dessert." Having spent a year abroad, Sheila decided to come home.
235
Having wasted two hours, Tom finally started his essay.

"I recommend going." They recommend trying.
242
The website recommends applying.
243
Question 7.
244

"Nelson Mandela is such an inspiring individual" is correct.
247
The word "such" modifies a noun or noun phrase.
248
"Such a good movie, such a clean apartment,
249
such an inspiring individual." The word "so" modifies an adjective or an adverb.
250
The movie was so good.
251

253
Question 8: At the end of the trial, the judge asked the jury, "Have you placed a verdict?" Have you found a verdict?

Question nine.

258

Obiettivi di parlato in questo video
Questo video è perfetto per chi vuole valutare il proprio livello di inglese e rafforzare la grammatica base, un traguardo fondamentale per la fluidità. Attraverso domande pratiche, aiuta a capire come costruire frasi corrette nel presente semplice, nel futuro e nelle comparazioni, elementi chiave per comunicare in modo chiaro. Se stai cercando di imparare l'inglese con YouTube, questo è un ottimo punto di partenza per testare le tue competenze e identificare gli aspetti da migliorare.
Banca di frasi utili
- "What is your English level right now?" (Qual è il tuo livello di inglese in questo momento?)
- "Keep track of how many you answer correctly" (Tieni traccia di quante risposte hai dato correttamente)
- "To make a sentence negative in the simple present tense" (Per formare una frase negativa nel presente semplice)
- "When we compare two things" (Quando confrontiamo due cose)
- "I think it will rain tonight" (Penso che stasera piova)
Queste frasi sono utili non solo per il test, ma anche per conversazioni quotidiane. Prova a usarle nel tuo shadowspeak (tecnica di ripetizione immediata) per migliorare la pronuncia e la fluidità.
Correggi i tuoi punti deboli
Il video aiuta a risolvere errori comuni come l'uso di articoli ("a" vs "an"), le preposizioni di tempo ("on" per i giorni), le forme negative del presente semplice e le comparazioni di aggettivi. Questi sono aspetti che spesso creano confusione, ma con la pratica possono diventare automatici. Per approfondire, usa una shadowing site per ripetere le frasi corrette immediatamente dopo il video: questa tecnica, chiamata anche shadow speak, migliora non solo la pronuncia ma anche la comprensione auditiva. Osserva attentamente le differenze tra le frasi sbagliate e quelle corrette, e ripetile finché non le senti naturali. Ricorda: la chiave è la costanza!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Frasi condizionali if + frase, will/would + verbo — una condizione e il suo risultato | If we walk slowly, we'd be · If she gets the job, she'll be · If he exercises every day, he'll get |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | Have you seen · have lived · have been |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | isn't connected · is followed · is always followed |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
