SSC Online Test for Improvement of Sentences

Tips for Improvement of sentences:

  1. Check for Subject-Verb agreement: The verb used in a sentence must be according to the subject.

· When two subjects are added by ‘or’, the verb should be in singular form.  

Example: The brother or sister is having lunch.

 

· When two subjects are added by ‘and’, the verb must be used in plural form.

Example: Boys and girls are playing


· Sentences starting with ‘Any’, ‘Each’ or ‘Every’ always use a singular verb.

Example: Each one of the family is happy.

·  The sentence containing ‘either/or’ and ‘neither/nor’ use the singular form of the

verb

Example: Either Ram or Shyam is playing.

2.  The use of pronouns should be according to the subject and object used in the X

Example: Either Ram or Shyam is playing.

Example: Line is the one that connects to point.



3.  Redundant words should be eliminated.

Example:

      Incorrect sentence- Combine two patterns into one.

      Correct sentence- Combine two patterns.


4.  Comparisons must be made among similar types of things.

Example:  He is shorter than his sister.


SSC Online Test for ative / Passive voice of verbs

Active Voice: In the active voice, the action of the subject is explained by the verb in a sentence and expresses a clear message.

For example:

Active voice: He wrote a letter.

Passive Voice: A letter was written by him.

3.  Helping verb should be used correctly.

5.  The preposition ‘by’ is used.

I: Me

They: Them

We: Us

Who: Whom

It: It

You: You

What: What

Which: Which
