To the Teacher

100 Clear Grammar Tests is a set of one hundred reproducible (photocopiable) tests on
common grammar points covered in beginning and intermediate ESL grammar books.
The tests in this book are intended to accompany Clear Grammar 1, 2, and 3. However, in
actuality, the tests are suitable for use with any beginning to intermediate ESL grammar
book.
Each grammar point has at least two tests devoted to it. For example, Test 20 and Test
21 cover wh- questions, and Test 71 and Test 72 both cover past progressive tense. More
difficult grammar points or grammar points that encompass more material may have three
or four tests in this book.
Some of the benefits of having multiple tests available for teachers (and learners)
include:

teachers can find a test that resembles their own teaching style;
teachers can find a test that resembles the way the learners expect to be tested;
teachers can use one test as a practice test and still have one (or more) for the actual
ESE:
learners can see their progress in various ways because the tests use a variety of ques-
tion types;
learners learn in different ways with different styles, so tests with different kinds of
questions are a good thing; and
learners can have a second (or third) chance with a grammar point if the teacher per-
mits this.

It should be noted that the tests included in this book were written by seven different
instructors with seven writing styles, seven teaching styles, and seven testing variations.
The
reason for this high number of authors was to produce a book of tests that would include a
variety not only of types of questions but also of approaches to testing. In many ways, the
one hundred tests in this book are different, but in many ways they are similar.
There is no one who knows your teaching situation and your learners better
than you do, so it is up to you to choose testing materials that match not only
what has been taught, that is, the content, but also the way in which the students
were taught, for example, drill, conversation, writing, and the way in which the
students are accustomed to being tested. While experimentation and innovation
are appropriate to the classroom, learners under the stress of a testing situation
may not do well on tests that are outside of what they are expecting.
We have tried to include a wide array of types of questions in the tests. Examples in-
clude matching, multiple choice, error location, error correction, completion (filling in the
blanks), connecting sentence parts, rearranging word order, grammatical identification (e.g.,
underline the verbs in these sentences), and manipulation (e.g., change the verbs to past
tense). It is important for teachers to make sure that their students are familiar with and as
comfortable as possible with the types of questions used in the test. Students may have
problems answering a question because they do not know the answer, but they should not
have problems answering the question because of the question itself.

For teachers’ convenience, there are three ways to access a test for a given grammar
point.

1. Ifyou are using the Clear Grammar series, simply look for the book and unit number
in the table of contents. For example, if you want to test Unit 4 from Book 2, you
would look through the table of contents for that unit number in that particular book.
The appropriate tests for Unit 4 in Book 2 are Tests 40 and 41.

2. Ifyou want a test on a specific grammar point but are not using the Clear Grammar
series, you should look for the name of the grammar point in the table of contents.
For example, if you want a test on articles, you would look down the listing of gram-
mar points until you find the term articles. The appropriate tests for articles are Test 35
and Test 36.

3. A third way to access a test on a given grammar point is to use the index at the back
of the book. If you want a test on prepositions, you would look through the alphabet-
ized list until you find the term prepositions, and then you will find that Test 29 and
Test 30 deal with this particular grammar point.
