Pretest on Grammar

There are so many components in grammar, that we are only find one or two difficult to understand. But how do you determine it? Here is a pretest taken from the book, "How To Avoid Common Errors in English" written by Anne Batko that you can take, to know which part in the world of grammar you need tweaking! It maybe a bit difficult but the answers and parts of speech are provided in the comment section so you can know where you went wrong. Oh by the way, this test is not limited to anyone at all; everyone can have a go at it. Good luck! :)
