1. The month of August was named after whom? Which character in a Roald Dahl book had the surname 'Gloop'?

Answer: Augustus

3. Finish this Chuckle Brothers phrase: 'to me, to ___'. What is the second-person personal pronoun in English?

Answer: you

Comedians Barry Elliot and Paul Elliot were known as the Chuckle Brothers; their common phrase was 'to me, to you'.

'You' is the second-person personal pronoun, while 'I' is the first-person personal pronoun.

4. Fill in the blank: '___ Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.' The name 'Pierre' is French; what is the same name in English?

Answer: Peter

The full tongue twister is: 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where is the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?'

Several French names have English variations, and vice versa. For example, 'Jacques' is another French name which translates as 'Jack' in English.

5. In the children's cartoon 'Tom and Jerry', what type of animal is Jerry? What word finishes this phrase: 'Hickory dickory dock, the ___ ran up the clock'?

Answer: Mouse

The full nursery rhyme is: 'Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, the mouse ran down. Hickory dickory dock. Tick, tock, tick, tock.'

Tom from 'Tom and Jerry' was a cat, and there were also two dogs which appeared in some episodes named Spike and Tyke.

6. What word means 'happening right now'? What can a person expect to get for Christmas?

Answer: Present

Past, present and future are the three simple verb tenses. The present tense indicates something that is happening right now or continuously.

During Christmas, many people exchange presents (or gifts). The type of gifts exchanged varies from country to country.

7. In the 'Harry Potter' books by J.K. Rowling, who guards the Gryffindor common room? In bingo terms, two of something comes before the number 88. If one died, what would be left?

Answer: The Fat Lady

The Fat Lady in 'Harry Potter' was replaced temporarily with Sir Cadogan in the third book, 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'.

The bingo term is 'two fat ladies, eighty-eight'. This is because the number eighty-eight looks like two fat ladies (if you draw in the arms and legs).

Answer: A

On the top row of letters on a QWERTY keyboard are the following, from left to right: QWERTYUIOP. This is why it is called a QWERTY keyboard (the first few letters are QWERTY).

In English grammar, the three articles are 'the', 'an', and 'a'. They are either definite or indefinite.

Answer: Game
