English Questions Templates |
English Questions Templates (further 'the Templates') are examples of the question frames we need to be sorted by difficulty levels.
There are 45 subtopics in the Templates you will work with.
The question topics, the wording, and even the punctuation are not accidental. They are representative of English grammar problems from actual exams. |
You need to imitate the topics, the tone, and the punctuation of the Templates as closely as possible.
That doesn't mean copying though. No question should be simply copied and submitted. Every question should be tweaked before submission. Here tweaking means rewording the sentences and inputting new verbs, adjectives, predicates - the grammar entities the subtopic is about. |
newQUIL |
newQUIL is our software for writing questions. It has two question types (Multiple Choice and Input), options of swapping difficulty levels, duplicating, saving, and submitting questions. |
The video at the end of the 'Quickstart for English writers' will demonstrate how to use newQUIL for your convenience.

Read it attentively; don't miss a page; ask additional questions if any.

Randomization and syntax in newQUIL |
newQUIL provide you with a simple syntax language that allows to randomize the items, use bold and italic. Most of these functions are adapted for maths questions, but there're some you can use in English.
|
Use randomization for names, cities, colors, etc. Use syntax if you need bold or italic. The examples of bold and italic usage are not random; the Templates demonstrate how and when you can use them.
|
Topic list |
The topic list includes all chapters subdivided into topics, in their turn subdivided into subtopics for Otter English.
|
Use the topic list to navigate in newQUIL when assigning the correct chapter, topic, and subtopic for your questions.
