If you’re gearing up for the ACT, you might be feeling a bit anxious, especially with the English section. I know I was! Here are some grammar tips that helped me nail it.
- Subject-Verb Agreement: Always ensure your subjects and verbs agree in number. When in doubt, go with the noun closest to the verb.
- Comma Rules: Use commas to separate items in a series and before conjunctions to avoid run-on sentences.
- Pronoun Clarity: Make sure it's clear what a pronoun refers to. Avoid ambiguous pronoun usage.
- Active vs. Passive Voice: Favor active voice over passive; it’s usually clearer and more direct.
- Commonly Confused Words: Brush up on homophones like 'their,' 'there,' and 'they’re.' You’d be surprised how often they show up!
Practice these tips, and I promise you’ll feel more confident on test day. Good luck!
