The It's Its There Their They're Quiz

You Scored an A



You got 9/10 questions correct. :-\ (wonder which one I missed   ??? )

It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors.
If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs.
As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human.
And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

There are many traps and difficult structures in the English grammar (as well as among the vocabulary; the so-called false friends) for a non-native speaker. But it's/its and they're/there/their clearly don't belong to this group.

Okay, so your grammar isn't perfect, but it's at least passable.
You probably know English and its rules well. You just are careless about applying them.
Proofread your writing a little more carefully. Your mistakes aren't tragic, and they're easy to fix.
Give grammar a little more effort, and you'll keep your friends from shaking their heads over your blunders.

I'm so glad I got a perfect score.  Misuse of it's/its, there/their/they're, here/hear, your/you're, pear/pair/pare are pet peeves of mine.
