0:08[Music]
0:12level hello my name is Maddie from PC
0:15English and in this lesson we are going
0:17to have an English level test to
0:21understand your level of English before
0:23we start let me explain what we are
0:25going to do there are 30 questions
0:29divided in three different levels
0:31beginner intermediate and advanced I
0:34will show you the question then you will
0:37have 5 Seconds to come up with the
0:39answer remember if you need more time
0:42you can pause the video think about the
0:44question and your answer and play it
0:46again that's okay don't forget to keep
0:50count of the number of correct answers
0:52you have because we are going to need it
0:55in addition I will explain the grammar
0:58and vocabulary behind each question so
1:01that you know why your answer was wrong
1:04if it was wrong so it's not just a test
1:08but we are going to learn a lot of
1:10things together now let's get into it
1:13let's start the test and we will start
1:15with a beginner level are you ready the
1:18first 10 questions are for the beginner
1:20level the first five questions are for
1:23A1 level let's start which sentence is
1:27correct he live on London
1:30he live in London or he lives in
1:39London he lives in London but why
1:43because this is present simple in
1:45present simple we have subject plus verb
1:49when the subject is third person
1:52singular which is he she or it the verb
1:55takes an S so I live you live he
2:00lives in addition we never say on London
2:04we say in London in plus City not on
2:08question two which sentence is correct I
2:12don't like coffee I doesn't like coffee
2:17I does like
2:23coffee the answer is I don't like coffee
2:27but why again this is simp simple
2:30present but negative to make a simple
2:32present sentence negative we use don't
2:34for I you we and they and doesn't for he
2:38she and it so I don't you don't he
2:42doesn't she doesn't it doesn't you don't
2:45they don't and we don't question three
2:48which sentence is correct he goes to
2:50work in bus he goes to work by BS he
2:55goes to work by the bus
3:03he goes to work by bus but why when we
3:07are talking about the means of Transport
3:10bus car taxi we use bu buy bus buy train
3:17buy taxi buy plane another important
3:19point we never use the article the
3:23before means of Transport so we never
3:25say I went by the bus by the train by
3:28the plane okay unless we know which
3:32plane or which train or which means of
3:34Transport we are talking about but in
3:37general we don't next question which one
3:40is correct George has very big car
3:44George a very big car has George has a
3:49very big
3:55car George has a very big car but why in
4:00present simple we should use this
4:02structured subject plus verb plus the
4:05rest of the sentence so the correct
4:08answer would be George has so B is not
4:12correct but what about a and C in
4:15English for singular nouns we need to
4:18use an article a an or the in this case
4:23our noun is car so we must say a car not
4:28just car therefore four C is correct
4:31let's get to the next question which one
4:34is correct look at this house over
4:37there look at that house over
4:41here look at that house over
4:48there look at that house over there but
4:53why in English for something which is
4:56close to us we use this for example this
4:59this microphone this
5:02laptop this
5:04mouse this book because it's close to me
5:07but for something which is far away from
5:10you we use that for example that camera
5:14that building that mirror and there are
5:17two words here which is around you close
5:20to you and there which is far from you
5:24there here this that so I should say
5:29this this here that there look at that
5:34house over there let's get to the next
5:37question which one is correct how he
5:40does go to
5:42school does he go to school how how does
5:46he go to
5:51school the answer is how does he go to
5:55school but why question form in English
5:59is always like this we have a wh
6:02question word auxiliary verb subject and
6:07the main verb in this case our wh
6:10question word is how our auxiliary verb
6:14is does subject is he and the verb is go
6:19so how does he go let's get to the next
6:24question are you ready which sentence is
6:26correct are you going party on Friday
6:29Friday are you going partying on Friday
6:34are you going to party on
6:41Friday are you going to party on Friday
6:45but why we are talking about Friday and
6:48we are asking about future plans when we
6:52are talking about future plans in
6:54English we use be going to and b stands
6:58for am is are was where so our verb is
7:04to party and the time is Friday which is
7:07in the future this is future plan and we
7:10should say I am going to party on Friday
7:16now how do you make this a question just
7:19change the place of the to be verb and
7:21the subject are you going to party on
7:25Friday next question which sentence is
7:28correct
7:30I really should to talk to her I really
7:33need to talk to her I really must to
7:36talk to
7:42her I really need to talk to her but why
7:47there is a group of verbs in English
7:48which is called modal verbs now modal
7:51verbs are can could May might should
7:55will would must now here's the important
7:58point after modal verbs we never use to
8:02and we never use ing so I cannot say
8:05must to or should to no no no no no but
8:10option b is correct because need is not
8:13a modal verb need to is okay and now
8:17let's get to the next question which one
8:19is correct did you rather go to a
8:23different movie would you rather go to a
8:27different movie would you rather to go
8:30to a different
8:35movie and the answer is would you rather
8:39go to a different movie but why when we
8:42are asking about preference what you or
8:46what someone else prefers to do we
8:48either use would prefer or would rather
8:52now here's the important point after
8:54would prefer we use infinitive with to I
8:58would prefer to watch a movie but after
9:02would rather we use bare infinitive
9:04which means infinitive with no to I
9:07would rather watch a movie in this case
9:11the first sentence starts with did that
9:13is wrong we should start with W option b
9:17and c start with W but option C has
9:20would rather plus two which is wrong and
9:23now the last question of the beginner
9:26level let's get into it which sentence
9:29is correct I was
9:32born before 30 years 30 years ago the
9:37last 30
9:43years I was born 30 years ago when we
9:48are talking about a certain amount of
9:50time in the past and we want to refer to
9:53the beginning point of it we use AO for
9:57example I watched the movie 5 hours ago
10:01I went to the school 3 days ago I saw
10:04Jack a few days ago 5 years ago I
10:08started learning English all right guys
10:11great job so far we' have done 10
10:14questions of the beginner level how many
10:17correct answers do you have so far if
10:19you have eight or more correct answers
10:22then your level is not beginner you
10:25should continue the test to see what
10:27your level is but if you have have less
10:29than eight correct answers your level is
10:32beginner in that case you can join my
10:35beginner English course by clicking on

10:40course you will have the chance to go

10:56you can use the discount code to
10:58register in the course with $20 discount
11:01and now we're going to get to the
11:03intermediate level B1 B2 are you ready
11:07let's start which one is correct where
11:11did you have dinner last night where
11:14have you had dinner last night where do
11:17you have dinner last
11:23night there are two tenses that students
11:26often confuse simple past or present
11:29perfect now both of them are used to
11:32talk about something that happened in
11:34the past however if we know exactly when
11:38something happened we use simple past
11:40and not present perfect in this case we
11:43know exactly when this happened right
11:46last night so we should use simple past
11:49not present perfect therefore where did
11:52you have dinner last night is correct
11:55next question which one is correct did
11:58you finish your project have you
12:01finished your project or have you got
12:04finished your
12:10project again it is a question of simple
12:13past or present perfect in this case do
12:16we know the exact time no we are not
12:19sure when the person finished his or her
12:22project so we use present perfect have
12:25you finished your project notice that
12:28the last option is not correct because
12:30there is a gut we use gut finished when
12:33the sentence is passive this is not
12:35passive so that is wrong and next
12:38question which sentence is correct he
12:41has never been to New York he's never
12:44gone to New York he's gone often to New
12:52York he's never been to New York but
12:56what's the difference between been and G
12:59onone the difference is being means you
13:02went there in the past and then you came
13:05back now you have the memory and you
13:07have the experience but gone means you
13:10went there and you are still there so if
13:13I say my father has been to New York it
13:16means my father went to New York a
13:18couple of years ago and now he's back
13:20with us but if I say my father has gone
13:23to New York it means my father went to
13:24New York and he still hasn't returned in
13:28this case because we we are talking
13:29about never so he has never been there
13:32he has never gone to come back right so
13:35we say been next question she asked the
13:39shop assistant to have a refund she
13:42asked the shop assistant to give a
13:44refund she asked the shop assistant for
13:47a
13:52refund she asked the shop assistant for
13:55a refund but why this is about col ation
14:00collocations are a group of words that
14:02often go together in this case the
14:05collocation of refund is to ask for a
14:09refund so she asked the shop assistant
14:12for a refund next question I'm sorry
14:17what I said earlier she's not married a
14:26doctor I'm sorry about
14:29she's not married too this question is
14:33about prepositions I'm sorry about what
14:36I did or I'm sorry about what I said and
14:39the preposition of Mary is to he's
14:41married to a doctor she's married to a
14:44millionaire now next
14:47question if you wouldn't tell me I will
14:50scream if you don't tell me I will
14:53scream if you didn't tell me I will
14:56scream
15:02this question is about the conditional
15:04sentences in this case first conditional
15:07in the first conditional sentences the
15:09first Clause is present and the second
15:13Clause is future with Will so if you
15:17don't tell me I will scream next
15:21question I didn't do that if I were you
15:25I wouldn't do that if I were you I won't
15:28do that if I was
15:34you again this question is about
15:37conditional sentences in this case
15:39second conditional which is about an
15:41imaginary situation unreal situation in
15:45second conditional sentences the first
15:47Clause is past and the second Clause is
15:50with would so if I were you I wouldn't
15:55do that this is the correct sentence now
15:58we can use the main clause and put it
16:00before the if clause and say I wouldn't
16:02do that if I were you next question I am
16:06not used to early in the
16:09[Applause]
16:14morning there are three very similar and
16:17very confusing structures in English
16:19about used to we have the normal used to
16:22which we use when we want to talk about
16:24something we did in the past but we
16:26don't do anymore I used to smoke do I
16:29smoke now no there is another used to
16:33which is be used to m is R was where
16:36used to in this case we are talking
16:39about habits for example I am used to
16:42waking up early in the morning which
16:44means it is my habit now pay attention
16:47for be used to we use the verb with ing
16:50I am used to waking up early in the
16:52morning we also have get used to which
16:55means to make something a habit of yours
16:58and again after get used to we use a
17:00verb with ing which is Jared now in this
17:03case the sentence is I am not used to so
17:06it's be used to so we need a verb with
17:09ing I am not used to getting up early in
17:12the morning next question he was tired
17:16because
17:22he had been traveling all day but why
17:26the first part of the sentence is simple
17:28past he was tired but why the reason why
17:32he was tired was what he was doing
17:34before right when we are talking about
17:37something which happened before another
17:39action in the past we use past perfect
17:42which is subject plus had Plus past
17:44participle now if that action was
17:47continuous we use past perfect
17:50continuous which is subject had been and
17:54verb in the ing form in this case he was
17:57tired because he had been traveling all
17:59day it's a continuous action so we use
18:02past perfect continuous and now next
18:05question you are wasted you a
18:14lot you must have drunk a lot but why
18:19these are called models of speculation
18:23what does it mean it means we try to
18:25speculate we use models of speculation
18:28to try to speculate to try to guess why
18:31something happened in this case you see
18:34your friend and your friend is wasted
18:37why I'm guessing he must have drunk a
18:42lot now for models of speculation we use
18:44this structure model Plus have Plus past
18:48participle of the verb must have drunk
18:52and that is the end of the intermediate
18:54section now out of the 10 questions of
18:57the intermediate part how many correct
18:59answers do you have if you have eight or
19:02more than eight correct answers then
19:04your level is more than intermediate so
19:07continue with the rest of the video but
19:09if you have less than eight correct
19:12answers your level is intermediate in
19:14that case you can join my intermediate
19:17English course by clicking on the link
19:19above my head again don't forget about
19:21the $20 discount code in the description
19:24of this video you can use it to register
19:27and now it is time to proceed to the
19:29advanced section in this section I'm
19:32going to give you 10 questions and I am
19:34really going to challenge you so get
19:36ready let's start with the first
19:38question Richard I understood he had
19:43made his
19:49decision having spoken to Richard but
19:52why whenever a sentence begins with a
19:55verb we need to use a juren form of the
19:57verb right so verb with in for example
20:01cycling is good for your health however
20:04if the action has happened in the past
20:06that is called a perfect gerant so you
20:09start with having and the past
20:11participle of the verb in this case
20:12because she spoke to Richard in the past
20:15so we say having spoken to Richard next
20:18question it's a very dangerous task we
20:22must precautions
20:29we must take precautions why this is a
20:33cocation we always use the verb take
20:36with the noun precaution now next
20:39question the restaurant begins to the
20:43tables for dinner at around 7:30
20:51p.m. the restaurant begins to lay the
20:54tables at around 7:30 p.m. but what does
20:57it mean to lay some something means to
20:59put something somewhere to put something
21:01down for example here's a mouse lay it
21:03on the desk it is also a cocation lay
21:07the table to lay the table means to
21:10prepare the table right to set the
21:13tables so you have a tablecloth you have
21:16the plates you have knives and forks and
21:19spoons that is laying the table next
21:22question he was ignorantly blind that I
21:27had never seen
21:29an opinionated person
21:35before he was so ignorantly blind that I
21:39had never seen such an opinionated
21:42person before but why we use so before
21:45an adverb or an adjective we use such
21:48before a noun in this case the first
21:51part of the sentence has an adjective
21:53and an adverb so we say so so ignorantly
21:56blind the second part has a noun which
21:59is person so we say such an opinionated
22:03person let's move on to the next
22:05question I would have been a Doctor by
22:13now had I studied harder but why the
22:17first part of a sentence shows that this
22:20is a third conditional why because it
22:22starts with I would have been and we
22:25only have would have past participle in
22:28the third conditional sentences so the
22:31if Clause should be past perfect and the
22:34main Clause would be would have past
22:36participle right I would have been a
22:39Doctor by now if I had to studied harder
22:43but do you see this in the options no
22:46because this is an inverted third
22:48conditional inversion is an advanced
22:51aspect of English grammar in this case
22:53we have an inverted third conditional so
22:56instead of if I had a study harder you
22:59inverted and you have had I studied
23:02harder in this case the sentence is very
23:05formal now we're getting to the last
23:07part of the advanced test C2 level and I
23:11really want to challenge your knowledge
23:13by a test of use of English I'm going to
23:16give you five incomplete sentences you
23:19have to complete the Gap with the
23:21correct form of the word in Brackets how
23:24let me show you an example people have
23:27always enjoyed the the effects of seair
23:31and as you can see in the brackets we
23:33have benefit benefit is a noun in this
23:37sentence we need an adjective what is
23:39the adjective of benefit beneficial
23:42people have always enjoyed the
23:44beneficial effects of seair clear now
23:48let's get into the first question there
23:51are a number of activities now being
23:55offered at the school and the word is
23:57curricul
24:03UL
24:05extracurricular but why what part of
24:08speech do you need to complete this Gap
24:11you need an adjective why because we
24:13have a noun activities and before the
24:15noun we need an adjective what is the
24:18adjective of curriculum it's
24:21curricular however pay attention to the
24:23meaning of the sentence curricular
24:26activities already happen in school
24:28right so what this sentence is trying to
24:31say is that there are some activities
24:33apart from the curricular activities of
24:36the school these are called
24:38extracurricular activities challenging
24:41right let's move on seems to suit her
24:46she's really happy with her home life
24:49and the word is
24:55domestic the answer is the
24:58Domesticity domestic is an adjective in
25:02this case we need a noun and the noun of
25:05domestic is Domesticity what does it
25:08mean it means living at home and taking
25:11care of your house and your family let's
25:14continue to the next question the side
25:17wall of the house had to be and the word
25:21is
25:26strong what do you do to the wall you
25:29should make it strong right in this case
25:32we need a verb strong is an adjective
25:34what is the verb of strong
25:37strengthen so the side wall of the house
25:41had to be
25:43strengthened next question the broken
25:46vase turned out to be of great value and
25:50totally the word is
25:56replace the answer is irreplaceable but
26:01why we need an adjective to complete
26:03this sentence replace is a verb what is
26:06the adjective of replace replaceable but
26:10based on the meaning of the sentence the
26:12vas was very valuable so it was not
26:15something you could replace it wasn't
26:17replaceable what is the opposite of
26:19replaceable
26:20Irreplaceable and now let's get to the
26:23last question of the C2 level I'm
26:26sweating I believe she had the of being
26:31constantly ill as a child and the word
26:34is
26:40fortunate the answer is Misfortune but
26:44why before the Gap we have the which
26:47means we need a noun fortunate is an
26:50adjective what is the noun of fortunate
26:53Fortune but based on the meaning of the
26:56sentence she was always sick so this is
26:58not Fortune This is the opposite of
27:01Fortune which is Misfortune and that's
27:04it guys so out of the 10 questions of
