Dear Candidate,
Purpose : To prepare for written exam of SBI JUNIOR ASSOCIATES (CLERK)/ SBI PO/IBPS PO/ IBPS CLERK/RRB PO/ RRB ASSISTANT
To improve ENGLISH, it is necessary to read Grammar book daily. This will help you to refresh all BASICS . Your speed and accuracy will also improve.
So Spent one hour today to read chapter on following topics from Grammar book.:
A noun or pronoun in the Possessive case should not be used as the antecedant to a relative pronoun; as, Do not forget his enthusiasm who brought this movement so far. (Incorrect) Change the construction to:- Do not forget the enthusiasm of him who brought this movement so far. (Correct).
The relative pronoun is sometimes wrongly omitted when it is the Subject of the clause; as, He has an impudence would carry him through anything. (Incorrect) Say: He has an impudence that would carry him through anything. (Correct)
. When the antecedent is same, the consequent should be as or that. That is the same man that (or as) we saw yesterday. I played with the same bat that you did.
. Pronouns of the third person plural should not be used as antecedents to who and that; as, They that are whole have no need of a physician. Here those is to be preferred to they.
. Avoid the use of same as a substitute for the personal pronoun. When you have examined these patterns please return them (not same) to us.
ADJECTIVES . The Adjective is correctly used with a verb when some quality of the subject, rather than of the action of the verb, is to be expressed; as,
The flowers smelt sweet (not sweetly). She looks dainty. That statement sounds queer. It tastes sour. He feels sad.
As a general rule, if any phrase denoting manner could be substituted, the adverb should be used; but if some part of the verb to be could be employed as a connective, the Adjective is required. The ship appeared suddenly. The decision appears unjust.
His friends now began to look coldly upon him. He looks cold. We feel warmly on the subject. We feel warm. He spoke angrily. He looked angry.
. The plural forms these and those are often used with the singular nouns kind and sort; as, These kind of things. Such a form of expression is, however, constanly heard and occurs in good writers. Some grammarians insist that we should say:- “This kind of things” or, better, “Things of this kind.”
. The words, superior, inferior, senior, junior, prior, anterior, and posterior, take to instead of than, as, As a novelist Jane Austen is superior to Mrs. Henry Wood. Hari is inferior to Rama in intelligence. The death of King Edward VII was prior to World War I. He is senior to me.
In comparing two things or classes of things the Comparative should be used ; as, Of the two suggestions, the former is the better. Of the two novels, this is the more interesting. Which is the cheaper of the two? He is the taller of the two.
This rule is, however, not strictly observed. In informal English the superlative is often used when we talk about one of only two items. We can use best, most interesting, cheapest and tallest in the sentences above.
. When a comparison is instituted by means of a Comparative followed by than, the thing compared must be always excluded from the class of things with which it is compared, by using other or some such words; as, He is stronger than any other man living.
[The sentence “He is stronger than any man living” suggests that the person referred to is stronger than himself, which is of course, absurd.]
Mussolini may be said to have done more for the unity of Italy than any other man. The Nile is said to be longer than all other rivers in the eastern hemisphere. The Taj is more beautiful than all other mausoleums. Solomon was wiser than all other men.
. In a comparison by means of a Superlative, the latter term should include the former; as, Solomon was the wisest of all men (not all other men. ) The crocodile is the largest of all reptiles. The Amazon is the largest of all rivers. Of all men he is the strongest.
Suggestive Book : To verify correctness of your answer read the concerned chapter from high school Grammar book.
Further you must read an English Newspaper today and encircle 20 difficult words . There after learn meaning of these words from dictionary. This will help you to build your word power gradually and you will be able to add about 600 new words every month to your vocabulary.
All The Best.
