Aptis grammar practice: the structures students miss

Ten real grammar questions from our bank, B1 to C1, with the full correct sentence and how many students get each one right.

These ten come from our own question bank, ordered by how often they are missed. The correct option is in green, and under it you get the whole sentence as it is actually said in English — that is the bit worth memorising.
