Выполнение разнообразных тестовых упражнений — необходимый вид деятельности при обучении учащихся иностранному языку, а также при подготовке учащихся выпускников и сдаче централизованного тестирования. Поэтому настоящий сборник, на наш взгляд, должен помочь проверить имеющиеся знания и умения учащихся и наметить эффективные пути для исправления ошибок.

Сборник включает в себя упражнения на отработку грамматического материала, а также тесты для контроля лексико-грамматических знаний учащихся девятого класса к разделам учебного пособия Л.М.Лапицкой 2011.

Сборник рекомендуется преподавателям английского языка в качестве дополнительного пособия для отработки лексического и грамматического материала. Он также может быть использован учащимися для самостоятельной работы.

В первой части сборника даны упражнения для закрепления грамматических знаний. Выполнение этих упражнений обеспечивает не только знание грамматического материала, но и, что более важно, приобретении навыков грамотной речи. Объяснение соответствующих грамматических явлений можно найти в конце учебного пособия Л.М.Лапицкой 2011.

Тесты на проверку лексико-грамматических знаний построены по принципу от простого к сложному, где в первых двух заданиях за каждый правильный ответ дается от 0,5 до 1 балла. В заданиях на перевод за каждое правильное предложение дается 2 балла. Максимальное количество баллов за тест от 30-50.
