I am an English enthusiast. Love this language. So much so that in my early college days- I could memorize the entire Oxford’s dictionary (forgotten much of it with age though).
‘Powerful English’ is a deep desire with almost everyone who I meet; wherever I go. It is like the makeup of the bride (very few genuinely understand it, but it looks good). Hence, this effort at making ‘learning english’ simpler and more enjoyable!
Identical twin sisters get married to two different men. And how important it is for the two ‘husbands’ to discrete their respective ‘wives’ for the discreet actions. Rings a bell? Discrete v/s Discreet? That is exactly what HOMONYMS are!
And there are hundreds of them in the English language. Here are 50 difficult homonyms with examples, meanings, and memory keys — solutions you won’t forget ever. Be it CAT, CLAT, GRE, SSC CGL, Bank PO, CSAT, NDA, GMAT, or CDS — trust me, you are all set after this.
In the last twelve years of my working as a Motivational Speaker, if there is one fiery need that I have identified across School / College campuses in Asian countries- it is that of improving English, both spoken and written. As the world becomes more global, this need becomes more pronounced.
I wish this need were limited only to the students/ youth only. Unfortunately it is not. People in the corporate sector; at the end of my corporate training will silently / secretly want to get answered the same question. 🙂
If you are interested to know the ‘Real Secret’ behind becoming better at English speaking / writing skills in just a few months’ this is the blog post for you!
English grammar is a major section in almost every entrance exam that serves as the doorway to top colleges. For anyone who doesn’t consider themselves a grammar whiz, it often becomes the deciding factor – a lot of very common mistakes creep into the English grammar section. Competitive exams like CAT, CLAT, SAT, Bank PO, GRE, GMAT, SSC, NDA and IELTS all tend to include the kind of question that leaves people wondering, “I never studied this rule – how am I supposed to get it right?”
When I was in school, English grammar concepts used to give me nightmares. Prounouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs – all sounded Greek to me! And these are all important concepts from an exam point of view. Somehow, I managed my way past them. So, I have attempted to make the English grammar rules regarding these concepts easier for you. Below are some of the most common grammatical mistakes people do when it comes to pronouns, verbs, adjectives & adverbs. I have tired to present the rules in the most awesome unforgettable way so that it becomes easier for you.
SVA, or Subject Verb Agreement, is one of the most tested concepts in English grammar. Entrance exams like CAT, CLAT, GMAT, GRE, IELTS, TOEFL, Bank PO and NDA all test candidates on subject verb agreement rules – and even after clearing the objective section, the written aptitude test (WAT) that most top B-schools use will test writing skills and grammar instinct directly. SVA is one topic where a mistake stands out, so it’s worth brushing up on what tends to get left behind after school.
This post covers all 27 subject verb agreement rules, with subject verb agreement examples for each one, needed for entrance exam prep – with the logic behind every rule spelled out clearly.
