DID YOU KNOW?

Which English proficiency exam is the easiest when it comes to grammar?

There's no official "easiest" English proficiency exam, but based on difficulty, tolerance for errors, test format, and pass requirements, these are widely considered the easiest options:

1. Duolingo English Test (DET) - Generally considered the easiest
Why:
• Short (≈ 1 hour)
• Adaptive, mostly multiple-choice and short responses
• More forgiving grammar and vocabulary requirements
• Can be taken at home
• Lower stress and simpler question types

2. PTE Academic
Why:
• Computer-based, automated scoring
• Predictable formats
• Less emphasis on deep grammar nuance
• Easier to "game" with test strategies

3. IELTS General Training
Why:
• Simpler vocabulary than Academic
• Writing Task 1 is informal (letters)
• Grammar accuracy expectations are moderate
• Widely accepted for immigration

This second word order exercise focuses on trickier patterns: adverb placement with multiple verbs, the position of indirect and direct objects, and the order of multiple modifiers. Start with exercise 1 if you haven't already.


Topic: ENGLISH WORD ORDER 2

level: Intermediate (B1/B2)




GRAMMAR REVIEW! English word order — intermediate patterns

Adverb placement with auxiliary verbs:
Frequency adverbs go between the auxiliary and the main verb:
She has always wanted to travel.   /   He has never been to Japan.

Direct and indirect objects:
When both are present, the typical order is: verb → indirect object → direct object (no preposition), or verb → direct object → to/for + indirect object:
She gave him the keys.   /   She gave the keys to him.

Multiple adverbs: When both manner and place adverbs appear, the usual order is manner → place → time:
She played brilliantly at the concert last night.

Fronting for emphasis: Time or place expressions can move to the front:
Last night, she played brilliantly. (front-loaded for emphasis)
