Use complex sentences
To score well for grammar requires you to use a wide range of sentence types. Especially, complex sentences which are sentences with a dependent and independent clause. As with my advice regarding vocabulary, I suggest you don't try to learn too many types of sentences. Instead focus on learning a few and learning them really well. My two top suggestions are learning how to use conditional phrases; [if phrases] and relative pronouns [who, which, that, when], which enable you to add extra information about the subject of the sentence. This is covered in more detail in Chapter 8. 17 Tenses For the most part you can limit the number of errors with tenses by just sticking to the tense of the question. If the examiner is asking you a question about your childhood then it is likely that your answer is going to be in the past tense. When you read the Part Two question card you should think about what tenses you need to use in your answer. Word order This type of error is very serious and easily noticed by the examiner. A common cause is due to differences in the sentence structure between your native language and the English language. It is a good idea to become aware of what the main differences are. You may need to frequently review these differences. Prepositions and Articles Errors with prepositions [in on at]; and articles [a, an, the] are minor and are likely to be not noticed or forgiven by examiners. However, if you frequently make mistakes with these then it will start to limit your score for grammar. Repeated errors make it difficult to get to 7 and almost impossible to get to 8. As with other aspects of grammar you need to review the rules and perhaps do some quizzes to become more familiar with them. Download 2.09 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
