"English" covers several different skills, and a quiz works better when it tests one at a time. Grammar items need a sentence with exactly one problem to find: subject–verb agreement across a long phrase, a dangling modifier, a comma splice. Vocabulary items work best in context, giving the sentence from the text and asking what the word means there, because many words change meaning with context. Reading questions should point to a line or paragraph and ask about inference, tone or the author's purpose.

Literature questions run from recall (what do Jem and Scout find in the knot-hole of the tree?) to interpretation (what does the mockingbird stand for?). Recall suits multiple choice. Interpretation needs care: if a reasonable reader could defend two options, the question is unfair. Keep one option clearly best and say why in the explanation.

Some errors deserve a round of their own: its and it's, affect and effect, fewer and less, who and whom, and "could of" for "could have". With literary devices, students often call any comparison a metaphor; a short set that separates simile, metaphor, personification and hyperbole with fresh examples fixes this faster than definitions do. Fill in the blank suits these well, because the student has to produce the form rather than recognise it.

Questions about a set text are only as accurate as the source behind them. Paste the chapter or poem you are teaching, or the part you want tested, so the quiz quotes the actual words rather than a remembered paraphrase.
