Find out what you already know
This is a check-up, not a graded test. It helps your teacher see what you already know before you start the units. There are 11 short parts, starting easy and getting more challenging. No solutions are shown while you work – if you need a reminder, open the small "Tip" card above each part. Work through everything once, then submit your answers at the end.

Questions: Am/Is/Are + subject + verb-ing? Negative: subject + am not/isn't/aren't + verb-ing. Short answers: Yes, subject + am/is/are. / No, subject + am not/isn't/aren't.

myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves – used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same person or thing.
Passive = a form of to be + past participle (+ by + agent, if it's important). The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
if + Simple Present, ... will + infinitive. Used for real/possible situations in the future.
if + Simple Past, ... would + infinitive. Used for unreal/unlikely situations in the present or future.
if + Past Perfect, ... would have + past participle. Used for unreal situations in the past – things that did not happen.
A participle clause (verb + -ing) can replace a clause with "because", "while" or "as" to make writing more compact – especially in written English, e.g. "Because he has lots of old objects, …" → "Having lots of old objects, …"
True or False – based on how the Klasse 10 exam parts work.
