A **True / False** question shows one statement. Students decide whether it is true or false with a single tap. It is the fastest question to answer, so it works well for a quick check in the middle of a lesson or for spotting misconceptions before you teach a topic.

## Add a True / False question

1. **Choose the type** In the editor, click **Add question** and choose **True / False**.
2. **Write the statement** Type it in **Type a statement…**, for example "The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°." You can **Add image** or insert a **Formula**.
3. **Choose the correct answer** Under **Correct answer:**, click **True** or **False**. The chosen button turns green for True or red for False.
4. **Set the points and extras** Type the points in the **points** box (default 1). Add skills, and open **Hint and explanation** if you want to add a hint or an explanation.

## What students see

Students see the statement and two large buttons, **True** with a tick and **False** with a cross. The button they tap fills with colour, and they can change their mind until they submit.

## How it is marked

The answer is marked automatically: full points when it matches your correct answer, 0 when it does not. If you leave **Correct answer:** unset, the question is not marked automatically and you give the score yourself in the live view.

In the live view, each student’s answer shows in green when right and red when wrong. You can still change an automatic score.

## Ask for the reason too

> **Ask for the reason too:** With only two choices, a student can guess right half the time. Follow a True / False question with a **Short answer** or **Free response** question such as "Why?" or "Correct the statement if it is false." In an ESL lesson, use statements about a reading text: "The writer moved to London in 2019."

## Frequently asked questions

**When do students see the explanation?**
The explanation is shown with the correct answer, when you let students see correct answers. The hint is different: students open it themselves with **Show hint**, and you see who used it.

**Can a statement be neither true nor false?**
Not with this type. For "Not given" answers, as in reading exams, use **Multiple choice** with three options: True, False and Not given.
