Cloze Test
A short passage has numbered blanks. Each blank tests grammar (preposition, tense, conjunction, word form) or vocabulary in context.
- Read the whole passage once to get the idea.
- For each blank, decide the part of speech needed (noun, verb, adjective, adverb).
- Check the words just before and after the blank: "for six months" (period → for), "very ___" (adjective), "to ___" (base verb).
- Check that the tense agrees with the rest of the passage.
- Read the sentence again with your choice.
