"pure" grammatical knowledge vs. vocabualry knowledge

0Hello everyone,02br
02br
00Now I'm trying to revise a standardized grammar test in order to measure so-called "pure" grammatical knowledge since I think that many grammar tests which are already available seem likely to include test items requiring vocabulary knowledge ranther than grammar knowledge. So I just want to get your feedback or comemnts on the following test items --- whether they are more linked to syntactic knowledge or vocabulary knowledge. (I think that these items are more likely to measure learners' vocabulary knowledge, even though they are included in a grammar test). Thank you so much for your help in advance! -CW02br
