USE OF ENGLISH

STRATEGIES FOR MULTIPLE – CHOICE GRAMMAR QUESTIONS
Incomplete sentences

1. Decide if the question requires knowledge of vocabulary or grammar

If all or some of the choices are the same part of speech, you must select the correct vocabulary item. On the other
hand, if you are asked to choose between different forms of the same word, you must select the grammatical form.
E.g 1. Everyone should have periodic eye examination to make sure any problems are quickly ………

A. produced B. responded C. discovered D. prepared

E.g 2. Everyone should have periodic eye examination to make sure any problems are quickly ………
A. discovering B. discover C. discovered D. to discover

In example 1 , you must choose the word that is appropriate in the context of the sentence. A medical problem must be
discovered quickly so that it can be treated.

In example 2, you must select the correct grammatical form of the word. The verb should be passive. The past
participle discovered completes the passive construction- problems are quickly discovered.

2. Identify the missing part of speech to determine the correct grammatical form

Identifying the missing part of speech (noun, adjective, adverb, preposition…) can help you eliminate some of the
choices. If the missing word is a verb, for example, you can rule out the choices that are not verbs.

Example 1:

Please……..your face with a mask when using welding materials.

A. protection B. protect C. protecting D. protective

In this example, the sentence is grammatically correct when completed with a verb form that expresses a command-
the imperative form of the verb. A & D are not verbs, so you can eliminate these choices immediately. Choices B & C
are both verb forms. Choice C protecting is not an imperative, B is the correct answer.

3. Note that some words are often used together in set expressions

Certain combinations of words typically occur in English. For example, the verb make can be used with an
appointment, a date, or a mistake, while the verb do is frequently used with a job, homework, or an errand. For 
example, I made a mistake when I was doing my homework.

While many of the choices in this section may seem to make sense, the question may be assessing your knowledge of
English language usage.

Example1:

Mr. Dupre has asked me to send his………. regards to you and your staff.

A. warm B. firm C. close D. good

The word regards is usually used with the words warm or best. While close and good might seem to make sense, they
are not used to modify regards

Example 2:

He has …..a great deal of time on this project.

A. passed B. spent C. cost D. paid

The word time can be used with pass or spend, but the meaning of the two expressions are different. To pass time
means to let the time go by while you are relaxing or waiting. This would not make sense in the above sentence. To
spend a lot of time on something means you use the time for a specific purpose.

4. Look for grammatical relationships between parts of the sentence

When you are choosing the correct grammatical form to complete the sentence, look at how the parts of the sentence
fit together. Information from one phrase often affects choices elsewhere in the sentence.

Example 1 : The notebook computer is the……….. profitable of all the products that are presently on sale.

A. as B. so C. more D. most

The phrase of all the products tells you that the notebook is being compared with more than one other product. A
superlative is required. Choice D forms the superlative of the adjective.

Example 2: Mrs. Hayar ……from her trip to Jakarta late yesterday evening.

</div>
(2)<div class='page_container' data-page=2>

Here, the clue is the phrase late yesterday evening. This phrase indicates that the action took place in the past. Choice
B is the simple past and is the correct answer.
