National Grammar Day is coming! Take a quiz

By Pam_Nelson

March 4 is National Grammar Day. Two smart women with grammar obsessions are promoting the day -- Martha Brockenbrough of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar and Mignon Fogarty of Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips. Both of them are multimedia masters with Web sites and books, and Fogarty has audio products. 

John McIntyre has a few thoughts about National Grammar Day at his blog. He recommends, among other things, hiring a editor. Please. 

To get you ready for National Grammar Day, which just so happens to be on my birthday, here is a new quiz to try. It's all about subject-verb agreement, and it's only five sentences. The quiz is multiple choice; you will choose the better of two words to fill in the blank. 

Have fun and don't worry about your score. This particular quiz has three purposes: fun, teaching and showing how difficult it sometimes is to choose the right verb form.  So click on this link or on the question mark icon to begin.
