At last, I have a new Triangle Grammar Guide quiz for you to try. This one has 10(!) multiple-choice questions, and they all have to do with word usage. You will choose the best word to fill in the blank.

The quiz is just for fun, and no one will know how you scored. But if you want to comment, ask a question or challenge something on the quiz, please leave a comment on this post. You have to register to leave comments.

My mentor John Bremner would have liked this quiz., but he would have slipped in some grammar. I don't feel so rusty anymore with a perfect score.

Thanks much for this quiz! I have to say I was surprised by my errors. As an author and an editor, I guess I need to drag out that old grammar book and brush up!
