Sentence improvement / rearrangement

Lesson 41 of 113

Topic kya maangta hai

Paper: Improve the underlined part / Which is the best way / Rearrange the parts (P Q R S) / Arrange the words. Pooche kaun si version theek ya kaun sa order. Find the error (A/B/C tukda) — error spotting. Blank ____ — cloze. Nearest meaning of a word — synonyms. Unseen sequence “pehla kya hua” — comprehension. Voice/narration palat tables un pages pe; yahan option jo tense-matlab rakhe.

Yahan padhna

Underline replace vs No improvement. Matlab mat badlo. Parallel not only…but also. only/almost jagah. despite of → despite. He go → He goes. PQRS: opener, closer, noun→pronoun, connector pair. S1 S6 lock. Word jumble: S-V-O, adj pehle, the tallest. Rajasthan: Although it was hot, they walked to Amer.

Yahan mat ghusana

Kaun sa tukda galat — spotting (yahan us tukde ki sahi copy). Hole fill — cloze. isn't he banana — tags. 12-box — tenses. is/are book — SVA. although tree — conjunctions (PQRS mein joiner-rista yahan). -er tables — degrees. be+V3 — voice. quotes — narration. Word ka paryay — synonyms. Title/author — RC. सरल-मिश्र palat Hindi — vakya-parivartan.

Ek line: Improvement = same baat, sahi English. Rearrangement = wahi baat, sahi sequence. Nayi kahani mat likho.

Do papers, ek extra — mix mat

Ticksahi version (ya No improvement)sahi order code (QRPS…)
Galat khelsirf error-part naam (B are) bina rewritekahani ka “matlab kya tha” RC

Dono mein grammar wahi fingerprints — lekin kaam alag. Spotting: are galat. Improvement: are → is wali poori option.

Improvement — underline ki jagah kaun si copy

Stem: He go to school daily. Options us underlined ke badle. Baaki line chhoo na.

  • A aksar original jaisi (No improvement / same)
  • B C D alag versions
  • Jo grammar theek + matlab wahi, woh jeette

Poori table us extra pe. Yahan option padho poora — kabhi option tense bhi tod de (goes → went bina yesterday).

Example

They discussed about the plan yesterday. Improve?

Solution

  1. Replace

    discussed the plan. about hatao. Spotting B-part about; yahan poori phrase theek copy.

Answerthe plan (about gira)

No improvement — original pehle se theek

Spotting ke D No error jaisa. Force karke “zyada sundar” mat.

  • She is a university student — a theek, an mat.
  • I have lived here since 2010 — theek.
  • He is taller than I (am) — Class-X chalta; than me bhi option ho to I formal jeette aksar, dono hon to stem pehle se I ho to No improvement.
  • Let's go, shall we? — tag theek, mat badlo.

Fancy trap. Original: He went home. Option: He proceeded towards his residence. Matlab same-ish, lekin paper improvement = grammar fix, IAS-essay nahi. Simple theek original → No improvement.

Matlab lock — kahani mat palatna

He almost failed. ≠ He failed almost all papers (alag). only / even / almost / just — jagah se sense badle.

  • Only Ram went to Amer. (baaki nahi gaye)
  • Ram only went to Amer. (sirf gaya, raha nahi — ambiguous; Class-X: only noun ke paas)
  • Ram went only to Amer. (dusri jagah nahi)

Option jo tense/voice/nafsiyat badle: He is writing → He has written (clock palat) — tab tak nahi jab stem present continuous maange. Transformation sawal ho (change into passive) to voice kaanun; yahan “improve” mein bina maange palat mat.

Too tired to walk ↔ so tired that he cannot walk — same family conjunctions / degrees; improvement option dono mein se jo stem ke dhaanche se mile.

Parallel aur chhota theek

not only intelligent but also hardworking (adj+adj). Galat: not only intelligent but also he works. Improvement: dono baazu same jaat.

both…and, either…or same. as well as pair dono…as well as nahi — conjunctions + SVA nearer alag; yahan shape.

Wordy: due to the fact that → because. in order to → to. Class-X kabhi shorter jeette agar grammar same. Kabhi original already short theek → No improvement.

PQRS — tukdon ko line banana

Chaar pieces P Q R S. Order chuno. Kabhi S1 (pehli line lock) aur S6 (aakhri lock).

Opener: poori independent, naam pehle, time-clause “When…” shuru ho sakti. but / therefore / him se shuru kamzor (him bina Ram ke).

Closer: therefore, thus, finally, that's why, and lived happily — nateeja.

Jodi:

  • Noun → baad pronoun (Ram … he)
  • a fort → the fort
  • not only → but also
  • Although / If / When clause → main clause
  • question? → answer
  • cause → so / therefore

P. they walked to Amer

Q. Although it was hot

R. in the afternoon

S. and drank lassi later

Padho: Although it was hot in the afternoon, they walked to Amer and drank lassi later. = QRPS.

PQRS = they walked Although… toot. QPSR = Although they walked — although ke baad turant they, in the afternoon tuta.

Munh se poori line bolo. Jo order mukh-sukha English lage, usko options se match. Connector rista conjunctions; yahan sequence.

S1–S6 — do kinare lock

S1 pehli given. S6 aakhri given. Beech P Q R S.

  1. S1 ke baad kaun sa tukda chipakta (pronoun / because / then).
  2. S6 se pehle kaun (therefore / finally / that is why).
  3. Beech ki do jodi.

S1: The bus was late. S6: They reached Amer after noon.

P. they hired a jeep

Q. at the depot

R. After waiting an hour

S. which went straight to the fort

S1 + Q → The bus was late at the depot. R → After waiting an hour P → they hired a jeep S → which went straight to the fort. S6. Munh se: The bus was late at the depot. After waiting an hour they hired a jeep which went straight to the fort. They reached Amer after noon. Beech order QRPS. (After waiting… so they toot — so mat chipkao.)

Para jumble 5–6 sentences (bank) bhi yahi kaanun: opener, closer, noun-pronoun, time line. Unseen “events kis order mein hue” RC extra — wahan passage already sahi order; yahan tum order banaate ho.

Word rearrangement — ek jumla ke shabd

Words / groups diye. English default: Subject – Verb – Object. Adjective noun se pehle. Adverb aksar verb ke baad ya end. Article noun se chipka.

tallest / class / the / Ram / boy / is / in / the → Ram is the tallest boy in the class.

Question: going / are / you / where → Where are you going? (WH + helper + subject + V-ing)

Adjective order Class-X halka: opinion-size-colour (a beautiful small pink bag) — gehra error extras pe nahi; yahan the + superlative + noun yaad.

Negative: He does not go (does + not + V1), not He goes not.

Traps — yahi kat'te hain

1. Spotting wala answer tick (sirf “B are”)

Improvement poori phrase maangta.

2. Original theek, phir bhi rewrite

No improvement.

3. PQRS mein pronoun pehle

he before Ram galat opener.

4. therefore pehle, kaaran baad

Cause pehle, result baad (unless “This was because…” reverse stem).

5. Cloze blank is page

famous ___ for = cloze. famous from → famous for = improvement replace.

6. Synonym of underlined word

agla extra. Yahan poori structure.

Paper pe paanch kadam

  1. Kaun sa paper? underline/best way = improvement. PQRS/S1 = order. words = S-V-O.
  2. Improvement: original galat hai kya? Nahi to No improvement. Haan to woh option jo fingerprint fix kare, matlab na palate.
  3. PQRS: opener (naam, When/Although), closer (therefore), jodi (he after Ram).
