Mini Quiz · 小考
Select the best answer for each question. 選出每題最適合的答案。
Question 1 / 10
is he? — He's my brother.
Correct. We use Who to ask about people. "What" is for things.
Use Who for people. "What" asks about things (e.g., What's this? — It's a pen.).
Question 2 / 10
A: What's this? B: ___
Correct. What asks about a thing → answer with "It's a ___."
"What's this?" asks about a thing, so the answer must be "It's a ___." People answers (she/he) go with "Who".
Question 3 / 10
His name is Alan. — "His" refers to ___
Correct. his is the possessive of he (male). "Her" → she; "My" → I.
His belongs to he (male). Compare: I → my, He → his, She → her.
Question 4 / 10
___ name is Wendy. She is my sister.
Correct. Wendy is female (she), so we use Her name.
Wendy = she → possessive is her. "My" = I, "His" = he, "Your" = you.
Question 5 / 10
Which sentence correctly uses "Who"?
Correct. Who is used for people. "She" → person → use Who.
Only (B) uses "Who" correctly for a person. A bag and a pen are things — use "What".
Question 6 / 10
A: Who's he? B: my grandfather.
Correct. The question asks about "he" (male), so the answer uses He's.
"Who's he?" asks about a male person → answer with He's my grandfather.
Question 7 / 10
Which is correct? 哪個正確？
Correct. "Mom" is capitalized when calling directly: Hi, Mom! But with "my", write lowercase: "my mom".
"Mom" is capitalized when used as a name (Hi, Mom!). With "my", use lowercase: "my mom". Also, sentences begin with a capital letter.
Question 8 / 10
___ name is Ken. He is my brother.
Correct. Ken is male (he) → possessive is His.
Ken = he (male) → use His name. "My" = I, "Her" = she, "Your" = you.
Question 9 / 10
A: Who's she? B: ___
Correct. "Who's she?" → answer with She's my friend.
"Who's she?" asks about a female person → answer with She's my friend. (A) is wrong — "she" is not an animal. (D) uses the wrong pronoun.
Question 10 / 10
Which sentence has an error? 哪個句子有錯誤？
Correct. (D) should be Who's he? — "he" is a person; use "Who", not "What".
The error is in (D). "He" is a person → use Who's he? "What" is only for things.
