HESI A2 Grammar Practice Questions
One of the best ways to test your knowledge is by taking a practice test. Evaluate your grammar skills by trying your hand at the three practice questions below!
Answer each question and read through the answer explanation, whether you got the answer right or wrong. This will help you ensure you’ve got the topic mastered.
Whether you struggled with these questions or aced them on your first try, be sure to take the full practice test to get a better idea of how prepared you really are!
1. Which word is NOT spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence?
In this sentence, the speaker is describing something that the prescription medication did. Therefore, the appropriate word is a verb. For this reason, instead of effected, the author should have used the word affected.
2. Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct.
In this sentence, however, the right answer is indicated by the context. The first part of the sentence states that the current prescription is to be maintained; this suggests that the speaker has a positive attitude toward it. It makes sense, then, that the prescription would have worked well in the past, and that this would be the reason for continuing it.
3. Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence.
Well is usually an adverb that describes how an action is performed (for example, "She speaks well"). Finely and happily are also adverbs and do not fit after the linking verb felt in this sentence.
