Study workflow

• Complete one lecture page, then solve the linked AQ page.
• Mark confusion points in a “trap list” notebook.
• Revise lecture examples before attempting MCQ sets.

​

Exam hints and traps

• Tense questions often test time marker + verb form mismatch.
• Passive voice transformation must preserve tense.
• Degree adverbs modify intensity, not verb tense.
• Comment/focus adverbs change tone/stance of sentence.
