# True or false quiz question

True of false questions give learners a binary choice, where they will need to decide if a given statement is true or false.

To set up a true or false quiz question, follow these steps:

1. In the quiz activity, click **Add**, then select **a new question**.
2. Select **True/False question**, then click **Add**.
3. Give the question a name, then enter the question in the **Question text** field.
4. Set the **Default mark**, i.e. how many marks the Learner will be awarded if they answer correctly.
5. Select either **True** or **False** for the **Correct answer** field.
6. Enter the feedback that will be provided depending on whether the Learner answers true or false. If you don't want to provide specific feedback for each answer, instead use the **General feedback** field.
7. If required, configure the **Multiple tries** and **Tags** sections.
8. Click **Save changes**.

Note that if the quiz activity is using [**Adaptive mode**](/19/docs/quiz-activity-settings) (where multiple attempts are allowed but the score is reduced for each incorrect attempt), the **Penalty for each incorrect try** setting for true or false questions will always be set to 1. As there are only two possible answers for a true or false question, this prevents the Learner from receiving any marks on their second attempt.
