Practicing English becomes much more engaging when you involve someone else. This activity is designed to test how well another person knows you while reinforcing question-and-answer structures in English. It combines speaking, writing, and interpersonal interaction into a single exercise that feels more like a game than a lesson.
How does this quiz activity work? [0:18]
The activity requires two people: you and someone who wants to practice English with you. It could be a friend, a sibling, or a parent. First, download the worksheet from the resource section. The worksheet contains 20 questions total, split into two groups:
- 10 questions you answer about yourself.
- 10 questions you ask the other person about you.
The goal is simple: the other person has to guess your answers. At the end, you compare both sets of responses to see how many match.
What does the question format look like? [0:30]
Here is an example from the activity. The question is: Do you like vegetables? You write your own answer first:
- Your answer: Yes, I like vegetables.
Then you ask the other person: Do I like vegetables? They give their best guess, and you write down what they say. This pattern repeats for all 10 questions in the worksheet.
Notice the shift in pronoun: when you answer, you say "I like", but when you ask the other person about yourself, the question becomes "Do I like...?" This small detail is excellent practice for understanding how subject pronouns change depending on who is speaking.
Why is comparing results important? [0:52]
Once you finish all 10 questions, count how many answers the other person got right. The scoring works like this:
- 9 or 10 correct: that person knows you very well.
- 7 or 8 correct: they know you pretty well.
- Fewer than 7: there is room to learn more about each other.
This comparison creates a natural moment for conversation in English. You can discuss why they got certain answers wrong, which leads to authentic communication practice beyond the worksheet itself.
Where should you record your progress? [1:05]
There are two important steps after completing the activity:
- Share your final result in the comment section of the class.
- Write your answers in your workbook.
Writing your responses in a workbook reinforces vocabulary retention and gives you a personal reference to review later. Sharing results publicly also builds confidence in expressing yourself in English, even in written form.
This type of pair activity is a powerful way to practice yes/no questions, short answers, and everyday vocabulary in a context that feels personal and fun. Grab someone, download the worksheet, and find out who really knows you best.
