Sample AP SSC English (Third Language) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the AP SSC English (Third Language) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choose the sentence that uses the present perfect correctly.
A.She has finished her homework an hour ago.
B.She has finished her homework.
C.She finish her homework already.
D.She had finish her homework yesterday.
Explanation: Present perfect (has/have + past participle) links a past action to the present without a finished past-time marker such as "yesterday" or "an hour ago." "She has finished her homework" is therefore correct.
2Identify the passive form of: "The teacher is checking the answer sheets."
A.The answer sheets are checked by the teacher.
B.The answer sheets are being checked by the teacher.
C.The answer sheets have been checked by the teacher.
D.The answer sheets were checked by the teacher.
Explanation: Active present continuous "is checking" becomes passive present continuous "are being checked" (be + being + past participle), keeping the same time and progressive aspect.
3Choose the correct reported speech for: Ravi said, "I am tired."
A.Ravi said that he is tired.
B.Ravi said that he was tired.
C.Ravi said that I was tired.
D.Ravi said that he were tired.
Explanation: In reported speech after a past reporting verb (said), present simple usually backshifts: "I am" becomes "he was." The pronoun also changes from speaker "I" to "he."
4Fill in the blank with the correct article: "She is ___ honest girl."
A.a
B.an
C.the
D.no article
Explanation: Use "an" before a word that begins with a vowel sound. "Honest" begins with a silent h, so the first sound is a vowel, requiring "an."
5Choose the correct preposition: "He is good ___ mathematics."
A.in
B.at
C.on
D.with
Explanation: The fixed collocation is "good at" a subject or skill: good at mathematics, good at cricket.
6Which sentence is an interrogative sentence?
A.What a beautiful painting!
B.Please open the window.
C.Where do you live?
D.She completed the project on time.
Explanation: Interrogative sentences ask questions and typically use inverted word order or a wh-word. "Where do you live?" is a clear interrogative.
7Identify the tense: "They will have completed the bridge by next March."
A.Simple future
B.Future continuous
C.Future perfect
D.Present perfect
Explanation: "Will have + past participle" is the future perfect, used for an action that will be finished before a stated future time ("by next March").
8Choose the correct passive: "Who wrote this letter?"
A.By whom was this letter written?
B.Who was this letter written?
C.By who this letter was written?
D.Whom was this letter wrote by?
Explanation: In formal passive of a who-question, the agent often becomes "by whom" with be + past participle: "By whom was this letter written?"
9Convert to indirect speech: She said to me, "Do you know the way?"
A.She asked me if I know the way.
B.She asked me if I knew the way.
C.She told me do I know the way.
D.She asked me that I knew the way.
Explanation: Yes/no questions become if/whether clauses; after past "asked," the verb backshifts: "do you know" becomes "if I knew."
10Choose the sentence with the correct relative clause.
A.The boy which won the prize is my cousin.
B.The boy who won the prize is my cousin.
C.The boy whom won the prize is my cousin.
D.The boy whose won the prize is my cousin.
Explanation: For a human subject of the relative clause, use "who" (or "that"). "Who won the prize" correctly relativizes the subject "boy."

About the AP SSC English (Third Language) Exam

AP SSC English (Third Language) is the Class 10 public examination English paper conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Andhra Pradesh (BSEAP). It is a written, English-medium language paper of about 3 hours 15 minutes for 100 marks, assessing reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary, creative expression/writing, and literature linked to the SCERT Andhra Pradesh Class 10 English textbook (units such as Personality Development, Wit and Humour, Human Relations, Film and Theatre, Bio-diversity/Environment, and Nation and Diversity).

AP SSC English (Third Language): Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill grammar transforms (tense, voice, speech) until you can do them quickly — they carry high weight in Grammar & Vocabulary sections.
2Practise unseen passages with a timer: first skim for main idea, then answer detail and inference questions with line evidence.
3Memorise writing formats (formal/informal letter layout, notice box, message, report headings) as checklists even when using MCQs for structure knowledge.
4Re-read SCERT Class 10 English units for themes and character motives (Nick Vujicic / Attitude is Altitude, Dear Departed family satire, The Journey, Kalam’s My Childhood, environment and diversity pieces).
5After MCQ revision, write full answers from official BSEAP model papers under exam timing — MCQs build recognition, not handwriting stamina.
