Grammar and punctuation quiz!

I think we all have our moments when we read and see weird grammar and punctuation, but here is a little test if you want to find out how good you are.

No cheating, 14 questions:

I scraped 11 correct with a bit of luck.

Only a 5 here, I found it hard to read with the questions being so similar.

That's what I founded hardest reading the questions. The similarity is half the difficulty if not more:(

I managed 12 correct. I wasn't sure about the abstract/collective; it's an area I don't recall doing at school, but I have to admit I left in 1949, and didn't go on to Oxford.I used to wonder what my life would have been if i had.Never mind, I'm still learning.

The "modal verbs" caused me the greatest headache. Have never encountered the term before:(
