HESI A2 – Grammar NB: Majority of these questions is directly from the HESI, and some are in the same format that is similar to the questions on the exam. Which sentence is grammatically correct? a.) Who’s coming to the party? b.) Whose to blame for the economy? c.) Who’s hat is this? d.) Whose going to vote? - Correct answer: A Who’s: who is Whose: belonging to someone a.) I went two the store. b.) I want ice cream, too. c.) The nurse gave him too shots. d.) I want to know your name. - Correct answer: D There is no right or wrong for adding a comma before the word ‘too’ – however, the comma indicates primarily for emphasis, meaning it is not necessary. a.) He did well on his diet. b.) He done well on his diet. c.) He did good on his diet. d.) He done good on his diet. - Correct answer: A Did well vs. Did Good Well is used as an adverb, describing the verb. Good is used as an adjective, to describe a noun. ‘He sang well’ is the appropriate use of well (describes how he sang). ‘He is a good boy’ is the appropriate use of good, which is used to describe the noun (boy). a.) Several lost his or her keys on the train. b.) Does everyone have their train tickets ready? c.) Is everyone ready for their ice cream sundaes? d.) Somebody left his or her jacket on the train. - Correct answer: D Everyone is singular, so ‘their’ is not matched correctly to the singular noun. Several is plural, so it should be ‘their keys’, and not ‘his or her’.
