First of all, there are some grammar basic rules, which one must know for better understanding of Sentence Correction Questions. These are:
I. Subject-Verb Understanding: The verb in a sentence must be in accordance with its subject.
(i) They both should be either singular or plural.
Example:
A boy is reading a novel (singular).The boys are reading a novel (plural)
(ii) In case, the subject is a collective noun, then the verb will take a singular form.
Example: The class is making a noise.
Note: There are four collective nouns viz. - cattle, poultry, police and gentry; with these nouns, we use a plural verb. And there are exceptions to the rule.
(iii) In case, the subjects are connected by AND; they require a plural verb.
Example: Gold and Silver are precious metals.
(iv) If the subjects are connected by OR, the verb used will be singular
Example: The dog or the pup is sick.
(v) In case there are two different subjects; the verb is put matching the closure subject.
Example:
Sachin or I am going for a party.Sachin or Rahul is going for the party.
(vi) All the sentences that begin with EACH, EVERYONE and ANYONE will have a singular verb.
Example:
Every one of the boys loves to ride.Anyone has a pen, please.
(vii) Confusion between I and Me: Often there is confusion on which form to use when there are two subjects or objects linked with AND, as in these examples:
a) Jenny and me/I joined the chess club.
b) Jill took Justin and me/I to the shop.
In sentence a) - Jenny and me/I are the subjects of the verb joined. Therefore, the subject pronoun ‘I’ is considered correct grammatically.
For sentence b) - Justin and me/I are the objects of took. Therefore ‘me’ is considered correct grammatically.
Note: Whenever a comparison is made using than or as, the objective form of Pronoun is used.
Example:
He is taller than I am.He writes as fast I am.I swim better than him.I am as tall as her.
(vi) Usage of NEITHER....NOR and EITHER.....OR:
