• Basic grammatical errors like incorrect use of articles, prepositions, or word order can significantly impact your score. Even though these may seem minor, they add up if they occur frequently and interfere with understanding.

How to Improve:

  • Articles: Focus on the correct use of “a,” “an,” and “the.” For example, it’s important to say, “I live in a small town,” not “I live in small town.”
  • Prepositions: Pay attention to common prepositions (e.g., “in,” “on,” “at”) and their correct use. For example, “I will meet you at the station” or “We had a great time in Paris.”
  • Word Order: Ensure correct word order, especially when forming questions or using modifiers. For instance, “What time does the train leave?” is correct, not “What time the train leaves?”

Practice Tip:

  • Target specific issues: If you frequently struggle with a particular grammar point (e.g., articles or prepositions), dedicate time to focused practice. Use grammar exercises or apps like Grammarly to refine your accuracy in these areas.
