Study Notes
Grammar and Structure Notes
- Use "a" with nouns starting with consonants (e.g., a dirty shirt) and "an" with nouns starting with vowels (e.g., an educated person).
- "Lead" requires the preposition "to," thus "leads to" is correct when referencing causes.
- The present perfect tense requires "has" + past participle for correct structure (e.g., "has led to").
- The comparative form 'than' follows comparative degrees for comparison (e.g., "are grander than").
- Singular pronouns (e.g., "it") must be paired with singular verbs (e.g., "has," not "have").
- In sentences comparing past actions, use past perfect for the first action and simple past for subsequent actions (e.g., "had seen" before "applied the brakes").
Error Identification
- Replace "can't be able to" with "cannot" or simply "can" to avoid redundancy.
- The conjunction "as well as" does not require "also" to follow it.
- Use comparative adjectives correctly in structure (e.g., "such an outstanding performance").
- "Each" takes a singular noun and verb (use "player" instead of "players").
- "Been" follows "has/have" in perfect forms, not "being."
Vocabulary and Expressions
- "Notwithstanding" means "despite" and can often be replaced with "because" for clarity.
- "Hospitalization" refers to admission to a hospital and should be compared as "more effective than hospitalization."
- The phrase "afraid of" is the correct usage rather than "afraid from."
Sentence Structure Rules
- Conditional sentences demand past perfect in "if" clauses and perfect conditional in the main clause.
- The correct use of articles requires attention to the initial sound of the following word.
- Follow verb forms appropriately; past tense verbs must remain consistent throughout sentences.
- Avoid common grammatical mistakes like incorrect verb forms with auxiliary verbs (e.g., "did arrive" instead of "did arrived").
Conclusion
- Ensure clarity by structuring sentences correctly and using appropriate verb forms and adjectives.
- Pay attention to article usage, conjunctions, and verb agreement rules for accurate and effective writing.
