Grammar Questions

Test taking tips

Determine whether the question is about vocabulary or about grammar. If it is a vocabulary question, think of the meaning of the whole sentence. If it is a grammar question, determine the part of speech needed for the blank by taking close look at the surrounding elements. Remember that quite a lot of English words look and sound similar, sometimes even the same, even though the meaning is different.
