This Test Will Determine How Good You Are At Grammar

"Who's the one wearing all black?"

"Whose video got the most views?"

Dogs _lie_ down, and you _lay_ an object down — so in this case, "lying" is correct!

"We caught the dog lying on the cat's bed."

"Lay" is the past tense of "lie," so "lay" is correct! "Laid" is the past tense of "lay," which is a totally different verb that requires an object. Yeah, it's confusing AF — but [here's an explainer](http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/lay-versus-lie).

"My cat lay down on the keyboard and crashed my computer."

Tip: When you simplify the sentence to "I think **she** ate the last strawberry Starburst," you can see that "she" is the subject of that clause, which means the correct answer is "who." Who ate the last strawberry Starburst? She did.

"She's the one who I think ate the last strawberry Starburst."

"It's" with an apostrophe always stands for "it is," so "its" is correct!

"My dorm finally got its act together and installed a washer and dryer."

As a noun, "affect" means observable emotion, while "effect" means result — so "effect" is the correct answer!

"The three glasses of wine I drank had no effect on me."

As a verb, "affect" means "impact," while "effect" means "bring about" — so "affected" is the correct answer!

"Daenerys was not affected by the events of the Red Wedding."

"Me" is correct, since it's the object of the sentence. An easy way to tell: You'd never say "too easy for I."

"That quiz would be too easy for you and me."

"I" is correct, because it's in the subject of the sentence (also, "me was the first one to line up for lunch" sounds ridiculous).

"Javi and I were the first ones to line up for lunch."

"Freak out" is two words when used as a verb — "freakout" as one word is a noun, as in "my friend had a freakout."

"I watched my friend completely freak out over Beyoncé's new album."

Just like in the previous question, "hook up" is the verb form — "hookup" refers to the noun form of the word.

"I know for a fact we are going to hook up this weekend."

It's one word as a noun, two words as a verb!

"What's your most embarrassing college hookup story?"

This clause is hypothetical, so it calls for the subjunctive mood — "were" is correct!

"If I were a Labradoodle, I'd have more followers on Instagram."

"Farther" refers to distance; "further" refers to degree.

"My best friend got a new job and moved even farther away."

People will probably still know what you meant even if you chose the wrong word...and isn't that what language is all about?

Keep grammaring!

Great job — you passed with flying colors!

Grammar rock star!

You scored 100% — you're a grammar superstar!

Word magician!
