SENTENCES

  Sentences are classified in two primary ways: by their functional purpose (what they do) and by their grammatical structure (how they are built). CLASSIFICATION OF SENTENCES   In English grammar, sentences are classified mainly in two ways: According to Function (Purpose / Use) According to Structure (Form / Clauses) Oxford Grammar emphasizes that function relates to meaning and intention, while structure relates to grammatical form. I. CLASSIFICATION BY FUNCTION (PURPOSE) This classification is based on what the speaker intends to do with the sentence. 1.

Error and Omission

To practice Error Correction (Editing) and Omission : 1. Build a "Rule Base" for Core Topics Most errors and omissions fall into five categories. Practice one category at a time to build focus: Tenses: Ensure the passage follows a consistent timeline. Subject-Verb Concord: Check if singular subjects have singular verbs and plural have plural. Determiners & Articles: Look for missing or incorrect uses of a, an, the, some, any. Prepositions: Verify relationships of time and place (e.g., "good at" vs. "good in"). Modals: Check the logic of ability, permission, or obligation (e.g., can, could, should).  2. Systematic Practice Routine Step-by-Step Solving: Read the entire passage first to understand the context and tense before editing. Check One Error Type at a Time: In your first pass, look only for article errors. In the second, look for verb errors. This is more effective than trying to catch everything at once. Backward Reading: To spot spelling or wro...
