About this Year 9 grammar quiz
This free Year 9 grammar quiz helps students practise the language knowledge in the Australian Curriculum for Year 9 English. Students analyse how writers use active and passive voice, nominalisation, modality and embedded clauses to shape meaning and tone. They also identify sentence types, fix dangling modifiers and keep pronoun reference clear. These skills are central to writing analytical essays and persuasive texts with authority. Each question includes an explanation of the grammatical concept and its effect on the reader, so students can both recognise these choices in texts and use them deliberately in their own writing.
Word classes, tense, subject–verb agreement, clauses and how sentences are built.
