- Subject-verb agreement
- A singular subject takes a singular verb; words such as each, every, either, neither, everyone, and nobody are singular and take singular verbs.
- Present perfect tense
- Formed with has or have plus the past participle; it expresses a past action that has present relevance or continues up to now.
- Since versus for
- Use 'since' with a point of time when the action began and 'for' with a duration; for example, since 2010 but for five years.
- Passive voice formation
- The object becomes the subject, the verb becomes a form of be plus the past participle, and the agent follows 'by'; only transitive verbs can be passivised.
- Indirect speech shift
- In reported speech, present tenses shift to past, 'this' becomes 'that', 'today' becomes 'that day', and 'tomorrow' becomes 'the next day'.
- A bolt from the blue
- An idiom meaning a sudden, unexpected shock or surprise, as if lightning struck from a clear sky; used for startling news.
- Between versus among
- Use 'between' for two distinct persons or things and 'among' for more than two; 'between' can also mark relationships among several individually named items.
- Cloze test strategy
- Read the whole passage first, then choose each blank using grammar, connectors, pronoun reference, and parallel structure rather than isolated word meaning.
- Articles a and an
- Use 'a' before a consonant sound and 'an' before a vowel sound, judged by pronunciation, so 'an hour' and 'a university' are both correct.
