SSCCGL 2020 Strategy: Improvement of Sentences

For the improvement of the sentence, you must apply the correct grammar rule with the correct use of different words.

• Subject-verb agreement must be checked properly.

Example: Incorrect: Boys is playing.                                    

              Correct: Boys are playing.

• Singular verb is used when two subjects are added by ‘or’.

Example: Ram or Shyam is going to the party.

• The Plural form of verb is used when two subjects are added by ‘and’.

Example: The teacher and students are going to the picnic.

• Sentences starting with ‘Any’, ‘Each’ or ‘Every’ always use a singular verb.

Example: Everyone is busy.

• Redundant words should be eliminated.

      Example: Incorrect sentence- I hardly have any time left.

                    Correct sentence- I have no time left.

• Comparisons are made among similar things.

Example: The population of a city is greater than the town.

• ‘Few’ is used before countable nouns.

Example: Ram is a few kilometers away from his house.

• ‘Less’ is used with uncountable nouns.

 Example: There is less water left.

SSCCGL 2020 Strategy: Active/ Passive Voice of Verbs

Active Voice: In a sentence when a subject acts upon its verb, it is said to be in Active Voice.

• This is used to convey direct messages in conversation.
• It is recommended to use active voice over passive voice.

Passive Voice: In a sentence where a subject is at the receiver end of a verb’s action it is said to be in Passive Voice.

• This is used to convey messages in a gentle way.
• This is used where a message is conveyed softly.

Example1:

Active Voice: He has written a book.

Passive Voice: A book has been written by him.

Change in Subject when sentence is changed from active voice to passive voice:

He: Him

She: Her

I: Me

They: Them

We: Us

Who: Whom

No changes occur in the following subjects when changed from active voice to passive voice:

It: It

You: You

What: What

Which: Which

SSC CGL 2020 Strategy: Conversion of Direct/ Indirect Narration

There are two ways to communicate in English on the basis of tenses used.

Direct Narration:

•  The direct narration is used to convey information in the present tense.
• It uses quoted words to convey information.
• For example,  He says, “Ram is dancing”.

Indirect narration:

• The Indirect narration conveys the meaning in indirect form.
• It uses conjunction words like ‘that’ in place of inverted commas.
• For example,  He says that Ram is dancing.

Basic Rules:

• If Verb is in the present or future tense, there will be no change.

Example:

Direct: He says, “Everybody is going.”
Indirect: He says that everybody is going.

• Rules to change pronouns in the reported speech are as follows:

First-person - According to Subject
Second Person- According to object
Third Person - No change 

For Example:

Direct Narration: They told me, “We were living in London”.

Indirect Narration: They told me that they had been living in London.
