Am relieved I scored 14 out of 14, since I am a Literacy cordinator!

I only knew what a gerund was because I remembered it from the English Language unit I had to study for my Lit degree - not sure it is of much use to your average 11 year old, really.

The test Y6 children will sit in May requires them to know the terms. It replaces the writing test which required them to use grammar correctly

14 and ain't studied English since 'O' level

I'm not really sure that knowing that a particular part of speech is called a gerund is necessary in order to be able to use it correctly.

(I agree with posadas)

14 phew! As a former EFL teacher and foreign language student I would've been pretty embarrassed at much less

10 and guessed most of them based on common sense. Totally forgot pride is a collective noun even though I didn't know what a collective noun was five minutes ago.

My grammar isn't that dreadful irl, despite having scored an embarrassing 7.

Please nobody search my posting history to prove me wrong
