Non-native speakers and non-professionals may find this test too challenging and may prefer to take the
Spanish Grammar Test.
What the Test Is About:
The questions on this multiple-choice test deal with the structure of the Spanish language and are technical in nature. Topics covered include types of sentences (e.g., complex, compound), elements of a sentence (e.g., parts of speech, subject/predicate, objects), types of clauses (e.g., independent, subordinate), phrases (e.g., adverbial, noun, prepositional), and modifiers (e.g., adjectives, adverbs, phrases), conjunctions (e.g., coordinating, subordinating), and problems in sentence structure (e.g., agreement, parallelism).
