Cheat Sheet
- Mastering Parts of Speech -
Knowing nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs is crucial for any connect quiz or grammar practice quiz. Use the "SAVANNA" mnemonic (Subject, Action, Verb, Adjective, Noun, Adverb) to recall each part of speech and see how they fit in a sentence. For example, in "The quick fox jumps," "quick" is an adjective and "jumps" is a verb (Purdue OWL).
- Subject-Verb Agreement -
Ensure singular subjects pair with singular verbs and plurals with plurals to ace your basic English quiz. A handy trick is to find the real subject by asking "Who or what is doing the action?" then match the verb form, e.g., "The list of items is long." (Cambridge University Press). This rule helps in both sentence construction quiz and advanced exercises.
- Using Context Clues for Vocabulary -
Context clues help you figure out unfamiliar words in a vocabulary quiz without a dictionary. Look for definitions, synonyms, or antonyms in surrounding text - e.g., "Her benevolent (kind) gesture warmed the room." (Merriam-Webster). Practice by underlining signal words like "that is," "or," and "but."
- Building Sentences: Simple, Compound, Complex -
Recognize sentence patterns to strengthen your sentence construction quiz skills: Simple (S+V), Compound (S+V, FANBOYS S+V), Complex (S+V + subordinating clause). For instance, "She smiled, and he waved" uses FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). The Purdue Online Writing Lab offers clear charts on these patterns.
- Collocations and Prepositions -
Collocations are word partnerships (e.g., "make a decision," "take place") that appear frequently in vocabulary quizzes. Pair each verb with its common preposition and create flashcards - "rely on" not "rely in" - to internalize correct usage (Oxford Collocations Dictionary). This focused practice raises your connect quiz score by reinforcing natural phrasing.
