Error spotting · noteswale

Topic kya maangta hai

Paper: Find the error / Identify the incorrect part. Line (A)(B)(C) + (D) No error. Ya ek tukda underline. Pooche kaun sa hissa tuta, poori grammar book dubara nahi. isn't he banana tags pe. Blank bharna cloze. “Improve the sentence / sabse achha rewrite” agla improvement. Hindi वाक्य-शुद्धि ashuddhi pe — English spotting alag paper.

Yahan padhna

Format A-B-C-D. Paanch pass scan. Ek error, do mat “sahi” karo. No error jab line Class-X theek. Extra word (discuss about, despite of, return back). Missing (than, the, to). Fingerprint: each…are, yesterday+has, a university theek / a honest galat, although…but, more better, senior than, if he will, sceneries, look forward to meet, sings good, between you and I. Rajasthan: The sceneries of the Aravallis — scenery. He discussed about Amer — about extra.

Yahan mat ghusana

Poori 12-box — tenses (yahan sirf yesterday+has clash). is/are tables — SVA (each…are fingerprint). a/an sound list — articles. in/on/at — prepositions (despite of yahan extra-word). can vs may matlab — modals. be+V3 palat — voice. quotes — narration. although tree — conjunctions. -er/more — degrees. comma-tag banana — tags (tag galat part yahan spot). Blank ____ fill — cloze. Rewrite nicest — improvement extra. Synonym choose — vocab extra. चिह्न/कि-की — Hindi ashuddhi.

Ek line: Line padho, galat tukda pakdo, usi ko option banao. Matlab badal ke “better English” mat — woh doosra extra.

Paper ka chehra

Teen common shapes. Pehle shape pehchano, phir scan.

Shape	Tum kya tick	Example
Split A B C + D No error	jis hisse mein error, ya D	(A) Each of the boys (B) are ready (C) today. (D) No error → B
Underline 1–4 parts	underline wala galat hisa	He go to school — go
Whole line + “error is”	kaun sa kaanun tuta	Error in verb number / extra about

CBT mein parts numbered. Jo tukda theek hai uspe mat jump — pehle poori line, phir hisse.

D = No error bhi sawal hai. Har line mein error nahi. Force karke A/B/C mat. Neeche No error.

Paanch pass — yahi page ka core

Ek nazar se “lagta galat” pe mat tick. Paanch chhote chhakke. Har pass ek family. Poori table us family ke page pe; yahan kahan dekho.

Verb pass. Finite verb milta hai? Number-person subject se? (SVA: each/one of/quality of/a number.) Time-word clash? yesterday/ago + has/have. since + simple past. If + will. (tenses)
Chhota word pass. a/an/the (articles). in/on/at/to/of — extra ya missing prep (prepositions). although+but, because+so (conjunctions).
Form pass. more better / as taller / senior than (degrees). He ran quick (adj vs adv — POS). sings good → well. tag: lives, isn't he (tags).
Extra / missing pass. discuss about, return back, despite of, comprise of. than gira, the gira, to gira. look forward to + V1 galat — to yahan prep, isliye to meeting (-ing), to meet nahi.
Matlab-stable? Error theek karne se sense wahi. Naya idea mat ghusao — woh improvement. Agar koi pass nahi chillaaya → No error.

Example

(A) The quality of these mangoes (B) are not good (C) this season. (D) No error — paanch pass?

Solution

Verb pass
Head = quality, mangoes of-phrase. are → is. Pass 1 pakda. B.
Baaki
Article/prep/form theek. Extra word nahi. Matlab same: is not good.

AnswerB

Ek error — doosra “sahi” mat karo

Class-X aksar ek galat tukda. Tumne B mein are→is kar diya; C mein this→these mat ghusana jo pehle theek tha.

Kabhi line mein do kharabiyan dikhein — jo option clear Class-X kaanun tode woh tick. Style-nicer alag extra.

Over-correction. The Ganga is a holy river — the theek (articles). “Ganga is” mat banao soch ke No error galat ho gaya. Pass 2 article-rule confirm, phir D.

No error — kab D

a university / an hour — sound theek, letter nahi.
The news is / mathematics is / the police have — -s trap pe are/is ulta nahi kiya.
I have lived here since 2010 — since + point + perfect theek.
He is taller than I (am) — Class-X than I chalta.
Let's go, shall we? — tag theek; yeh spotting nahi, pehle se sahi line.
Despite the rain they went — despite + noun, of nahi. Theek.

D tab jab paanch pass kuch nahi pakde. “Kuch to hoga” se C mat.

Matlab mat badlo — improvement alag extra

Spotting: galat grammar hatao, message wahi. He go daily → go galat (goes). Sentence ko He attends school regularly mat banao — woh rewrite.

Agla extra: sentence improvement (nicest option) + rearrangement (jumble). Cloze: blank mein word. Yahan: existing word/tukda galat hai kya.

Fingerprint atlas — scan ke dauran yeh dikhe to rukna

Gehra kaanun us page pe. Yahan dikhte hi alarm.

Dikha	Soch	Page
each / every / one of / neither of + are/have	singular is/has	SVA
a number of + is / the number of + are	ulta: a number are, the number is	SVA
yesterday / ago / last + has/have/is going	past simple V2	tenses
If he will come…	If he comes	tenses
a honest / an university	sound: an honest, a university	articles
despite of / discuss about / enter into (room)	extra of/about/into	prep + yahan extra-word
Although…but / Because…so	ek joiner	conjunctions
more better / as taller as / senior than	better; as tall as; senior to	degrees
He lives, isn't he / I am, amn't I / Let's, aren't we	doesn't; aren't I; shall we	tags
He said that he is tired (reporting past)	was — backshift	narration
The letter is write / was wrote	written V3	voice
He does can / He cans	can V1, no -s	modals

Extra word — Indian paper ka favourite

Doosra extra poori list nahi; spotting mein yeh hatane wale words.

Galat	Theek (hatao / badlo)
discuss about / describe about / mention about	discuss the plan (about hatao)
comprise of	comprise five parts / consist of (consist ko of chahiye; comprise ko nahi)
despite of	despite the heat / in spite of (in spite ko of)
return back / revert back / repeat again / enter in	return / repeat / enter the room
called as Ram / named as	called Ram
order for a book	order a book
reason is because	reason is that / because (ek)
suppose if	suppose / if (ek)
equally as good	equally good / as good as
from where he belongs	where he belongs (from extra with belong)

Prep missing bhi: wait for, listen to, fond of, good at — lists prepositions; yahan pass 2 pe object ke pehle prep hai ya extra hai.

Missing aur galat word — hatana nahi, badalna

than gira: He is taller Ram → taller than Ram. Incomplete compare degrees.
the gira: She is tallest girl → the tallest.
to gira / galat: I want go → want to go. prefer tea than coffee → prefer to.
then vs than: taller then me → than (spelling-pair, comparison).
its / it's: The dog wagged it's tail → its (possession). it's = it is.
between you and I: between you and me (object). who I met → whom I met (formal).
good / well: She sings good → well (adv). He is good → adj theek.
quick / quickly: He ran quick → quickly.
enough order: enough good → good enough.

Uncountable pe -s / a

Spotting mein yeh nouns plural mat: furniture, luggage, baggage, scenery, information, knowledge, advice, news, work (kaam), hair (sar ke), machinery, stationery, poetry.

The sceneries of Rajasthan are… → scenery is / the scenery of
He gave me an advice / many informations → advice / information (a piece of…)
