This video quiz was created with the Autoquiz creator ("Create a quiz in 1 click"). I took a video with a human-created subtitle, chose the topic of 'Passive in all tenses' and generated a quiz. Then I manually added some active voice questions alongside the machine-generated passive ones using the subtitle box in the editor. I've also inserted the infinitives in brackets by hand.

The objective of the lesson is to train students in the use of passive in the past simple tense through 15 questions (gapfill, multiple choice, correct the wrong word), including one item in the passive infinitive ("to be confused"). Students have to decide if the infinitive in brackets should be in the active or passive form.

I've delayed popping up each of the fifteen questions with a few seconds to let students' auditory memory fade and make them rely on their knowledge of grammar, rather than their ears.

Why We Say OK - Passive or Active Voice - Autoquiz

There are 9 "True or False" multiple choice questions to check deeper understanding of the message of the video. I tried to make the false statements tricky enough so that the right answer would not be obvious, e.g. the first half of the statement is true, but the second is not.

As for the language proficiency level, I think it's best fit for Intermediate (B1) level students. I intentionally included some more advanced vocabulary in the wording of the questions and the explanations to make the vocabulary learning potential of the lesson even more powerful (I clarify the meaning of each of them right after using the word). You may want to use this lesson with Upper-Intermediate students, but I think they will find little challenge in answering the questions. At the same time, by virtue of the rich vocabulary content, they may pick up a bunch of useful words that they can use in follow-up discussions about new year's resolutions.

6 Tips to Help You Stick to Your New Year's Resolution

I created this video quiz by means of the Autoquiz function of the quiz creator ("Create a quiz in 1 click"), which generates a quiz in a grammar topic using the human-created subtitles of the video. In this case, I chose the topic of 'Passive in all tenses' and manually added some active voice questions alongside the machine-generated passive ones using the subtitle box in the editor. I've also inserted the infinitives in brackets by hand.

The objective of the lesson is to train students in the use of passive in the past simple tense, with one question containing a passive infinitive ("to be used"). Students have to decide if the infinitive in brackets should be in the active or passive form.

I've delayed popping up each of the fifteen questions with a few seconds to let students' auditory memory fade and make them rely on their knowledge of grammar, rather than their ears.

Listen to the song lyrics, fill in the missing articles (a / an / the) or, if there is not an article missing from the line, leave it blank.

Pink - One Too Many - Articles -Definite / Indefinite / Zero

I created this video quiz by means of the Autoquiz function of the quiz creator ("Create a quiz in 1 click"), which uses the human-created subtitles of the video to generate a quiz in the topic of your choice. I chose the topic of 'Passive in simple tenses (present, past, future)' and manually added some active voice questions alongside the machine-generated passive ones using the subtitle box in the editor. I've also inserted the infinitives in brackets by hand.

The objective of the lesson is to train students in the use of passive in simple tenses in the present and past, with some questions involving the passive infinitive ("to be done") and modal passive structures ("could be done"). 

I've delayed popping up each of the fifteen questions with a few seconds to let students' auditory memory fade and make them rely on their knowledge of grammar, rather than their ears.
