It's probably going to taint your result when I tell you that I got the same result, isn't it? That must have been a very easy test, because my English is hardly what anyone would call genius. :) Possibly, it's easier for non-native English speakers because of the emphasis on reading and writing in how it's taught in schools (at least around here).

I think i need to improve my english:

Your result for The Commonly Confused Words Test...
Intermediate

You scored 93% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 73% Advanced, and 73% Expert!

You have a good understanding of beginner and intermediate level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of the beginner and intermediate level questions correct. This is a good score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don't use them properly. You got a respectable score.

It's a pity they don't show the wrong answers, that would help

I only got advanced...

Question though - is it supposed to be Henry and I, or Henry and me?

Because I grew up being taught that it was 'I', and then last year on that show 'Smarter than a fifth grader' the answer was 'me' and my sister and I were all WTF? Because to us - that was wrong.

It depends upon the structure of the sentence.

This explains it a bit, though there are even more in depth explanations out there!;)
