Sentence Correction

Mastering Grammar

Sentence Correction tests your knowledge of English grammar, usage, and style. Each question presents a sentence, part of which is underlined, and asks you to choose the best version.

Key Skills

  • Correct grammar and word usage
  • Clarity and conciseness
  • Parallelism and logical comparison
  • Subject-verb agreement

Tips

Read the entire sentence for meaning. Look for common traps: misplaced modifiers, awkward phrasing, and idiom errors. Eliminate options with obvious grammatical mistakes first.

Real-World Connection

This skill is crucial for writing effective emails, reports, and presentations that are clear, concise, and professional.

Examples

  • Spotting that 'the company, who was founded in 1999' should be 'the company, which was founded in 1999.'

  • Choosing the concise version: 'Because he was late, he missed the meeting,' over 'Due to the fact that he was late, he missed the meeting.'

In a Nutshell

Edit sentences for grammar, clarity, and style.
