English is one of the trickiest languages in the world, and even harder to learn for middle schoolers due to its many obscure grammatical rules. It's fairly easy to mess up the rules, even for native speakers who have been using English all their lives.
How good is your command of English? You might not know this fair language of ours as well as you think. Vocabulary quizzes like this one can truly challenge your knowledge. Do you know when to use words like "descendant", "sequel" and "successor"? How about "recede", "subside" and "wane"? These are groups of different words with similar meanings, after all. Now imagine you are a middle schooler taking on a test like this. It is much harder than it looks.
Very few adults can actually pass this quiz, and even fewer actually ace it. Can you? There is only one way to find out. Start the quiz now and let's see how well you can do!
