Sample questions from the tagalog test
Real items from the test bank — one per level band. The full test adapts from A1 to C1.
___ bata ay natutulog na sa kuwarto.
- 1Ang
- 2Ng
- 3Sa
- 4Si
Show answer
Correct: Ang
"Ang" marks the topic/focus of the clause (the common noun "bata" that the sentence is about). "Ng" is the non-topic marker, "sa" is the oblique/locative marker, and "si" only ever precedes a personal name, never a common noun like "bata".
___ ang baso dahil madulas ang mga kamay niya. (got broken — accidental)
- 1Binasag
- 2Nabasag
- 3Bumasag
- 4Babasagin
Show answer
Correct: Nabasag
The potentive/accidental "ma-" (completed "na-") marks a non-volitional event: "Nabasag ang baso" ("the glass got broken"). "Binasag" is deliberate object focus ("[someone] broke it"), "bumasag" deliberate actor focus, and "babasagin" contemplated object focus.
Sarado ang mga tindahan; ___ may holiday ngayon.
- 1daw
- 2mukhang
- 3lang
- 4pala
Show answer
Correct: mukhang
"Mukhang" ("it looks like / apparently") marks a visual inference drawn from evidence (the closed shops): "Mukhang may holiday". "Daw" reports hearsay (a second-hand source), "lang" means "only", and "pala" marks sudden realisation — none conveys the evidence-based inference.

Methodology
This Tagalog grammar test contains 50 items (10 at A1, 10 at A2, 10 at B1, 10 at B2, 10 at C1), ordered from A1 to C1 and drawn from the same item bank used inside the Lenguia study-plan product.
Scoring uses a pass-threshold model: each CEFR level is "passed" when you earn roughly two-thirds of its available points, and your result is the highest level you pass consecutively starting from A1. This rewards consistent competence rather than lucky guesses. Results range from A1 to C1 (the test does not grade C2).
The items are informed by the competency descriptors of the Council of Europe CEFR framework. This is a free self-assessment: results are a reliable orientation, not a certified proficiency measurement.
The competency descriptors follow the Council of Europe CEFR framework.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this Tagalog grammar test?
It uses the same item bank and pass-threshold scoring as the placement engine inside Lenguia's study-plan product, so the CEFR estimate is consistent and repeatable. Like any online self-assessment it is an orientation, not an official certificate.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes — the full test, the result and the shareable certificate are free, with no signup. If you create an account afterwards, your result can be used to build a personalized study plan.
What levels can I get?
A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1. A level counts as reached when you earn roughly two-thirds of its points and have passed every level below it. C2 is not graded.
Can I retake the test?
Yes, as often as you like. Questions within each level are shuffled, and your latest result replaces the previous one on this device.
