    I'm a little surprised that I got 17/20 , although English is my second language and I was always just a mediocre student in English. I know I got better the last years because I read a lot but I still thought I'm not that good. But then there was many of "is it then or than", "is it your or you're" and this was one of the first things we learned because it's so important. Like in German the "das or dass".... It's important and to my suprise always easy for me but for many others not so much....(Edit: autocorrect)

    The same result, mostly from distraction - verbs are from Latin origin, no big difference from most European languages. For me more difficult is to recognise what people speak. not write.

    I was born & raised in the US, and it wasn't till I was working in my 20's that someone told me that it is height all the time, not heighth. I assumed it was like width & depth.

    20/20. No problem; but then I have always read a lot from an early age.

    Number 20 should be "different FROM". Simple rule: different from, similar to, comparable with. It is never different "than" in English. I did of course score 20.

    Can someone explain Q.18 to me. I thought since the color belonged to the spot then you would use possessive "it's" with apostrophe. Like "Greg's car", "Janet's leg" ??

    “It” is an exception to the usual rule, just to make English even more confusing.“Its” is used for possession to differentiate it from “it’s”, which is a contraction of “it is”. I hope that makes sense!

    They screwed up nauseous. When you are nauseous, you make other people feel sick. When you feel sick, you are nauseated.

    No. Nauseate is making people feel sick. Nauseous is to have a feeling of nausea.

    The phrase is 'different from'; 'different than' is incorrect.
