1. Special note: An original idea for an original test

2.Basic Explanations. Explanations give some additional context.

Thank you.

And as long as Telegram enables more space for explanations, we'd be able to give detailed information about each test. While doing the quizzes on quiz.directory , I could see how much space was left below each question. Why not use it for explanations? And the Telegram app could make a pop-up screen for explanations which users can turn off when they finish reading.

This test may have a higher chance of receiving a reward. Nominated for:

Educational explanations. 👍 Explanations cover why the correct answers are correct and why the wrong answers are wrong (when appropriate). E.g.: #q1, #q39, #40

Many questions lack for punctuation marks like commas..
In question number 7 the word(two) is not true..it must be too.

In question 36 ( or else) is wrong expression, it must be (otherwise)

Hello and thank you for your comment.

Could you please show me the exact test where commas are lacking, and I would be able to explain it or see my mistakes.

As for the question number 7, 'two' is correct here. 'You two' is addressed towards two people and it's pretty common to use it nowadays. You just look at two people and say "You two look look so young" meaning "The two of you" or "The two people I'm talking to", so I guess your correction is irrelevant.

'Or else' can be a synonym to 'otherwise' and here's the link where you can see the definition from Cambridge Dictionary: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/or-else

If my explanations are still not satisfactory, please comment. Also, it would be more professional if you explained my mistakes in details. Thank you!

(because ) in question number 6... and (when )in the question number 9 , both of the conjunctions are written without a comma preceding them.

Thanks alot

I see. Well, we don't usually use a comma when we start the sentence with the main clause. When the sentence starts with a time clause, a comma is used to separate the two clauses. See what I did there? ;) Anyway, I hope this link helps: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/punctuation/commas/extended_rules_for_commas.html

The same rule for 'because':
1. I don't want to go out because it's hot.
2. Because it's hot, I don't want to go out.

I hope my explanations helped you. Take care!

Question 39: the second sentence with "depends" should include "on". Likewise "whether" should be proceeded by "or not".
Swift Bass author
Thank you for your comment!

While there is a structure 'depend on/upon sth', there is also another structure: 'depend if/whether + subject + verb'.

For example,
I shouldn't be too late. But it depends if the traffic's bad. (from the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary)
