This test marked as incorrect sentences with no contractions, e.g. "I am not running" and "He is not running". As the instructions were to avoid using contractions, I was surprised when it marked every answer as being wrong because I didn't use contractions. Also, the "correct" answers were inconsistent in the way they were contracted - "I'm not running", but "He isn't running" rather than "He's not running". Also, in English, it is more usual to put "Ann and I are not running" than "I and Ann" - I don't know what the rule is, but to a native speaker like me it just feels wrong.

Hope this helps.
