Study Notes

Grammar Practice Key Points

Word Selection: Understand the difference between "affect" (verb) and "effect" (noun) for correct sentence completion.
Grammatical Errors: Identify incorrect usage in sentences such as replacing "good" with "well" or the importance of adverbs ("poorly") for accurate grammar.
Dependent Clauses: Recognize dependent clauses in compound sentences; they provide additional information but cannot stand alone (e.g., "while we waited").
Farther vs. Further: Differentiate between "farther" (physical distance) and "further" (figurative distance or degree).
Lie vs. Lay: Correctly apply "lie" (to recline) and "lay" (to place) in context-sensitive situations.
Parts of Speech: Identify nouns (e.g., "bird"), conjunctions (e.g., "but"), direct objects (e.g., "medication"), and subjects (e.g., "nurses") in sentences.
Predicate Adjectives: Recognize sentences that link subjects to descriptions, like "The students are smart."
Pronouns in Context: Correctly use pronouns based on their function in the sentence, e.g., "sister and me" instead of "sister and I."
Infinitive Forms: Use proper forms after expressions of fear, e.g., "afraid of going."
Correct Reflexive Pronouns: Apply reflexive pronouns like "myself" appropriately in sentences about actions done to oneself.
Cliché Recognition: Identify clichés such as "fit as a fiddle" that may be overused in writing.
Agreement in Number: Ensure subject-verb agreement, especially with collective nouns ("The pack of wolves is running").
Adjective vs. Adverb: Understand when to use adjectives versus adverbs for accurate descriptions (e.g., "danced badly").
Phrase Structure: Recognize prepositions (e.g., "during") and their role in connecting phrases.
Improper Usage: Spot incorrect phrases like "learn me," demonstrating the need for correct verb forms.
Intervening Phrases: Identify group dynamics within sentences and ensure subject-verb agreement amidst intervening phrases ("members...want").
Comparison Forms: Use comparative and superlative forms accurately, e.g., "harder" vs. "more hard."
Substitutes for Proper Nouns: Substitute properly for nouns in sentences based on context, e.g., using "He" for "the boy."
Locational Prepositions: Use appropriate prepositions—in this case, "at the top of the hill."

These points offer a structured overview for improving understanding and applying grammar rules effectively in writing and communication.
