Grammar rules are essential as they are the foundation to writing grammatically correct sentences. You need to know and understand the rules in order to answer the questions. Grammar is pretty straightforward and once you have mastered the rules, you will be able to answer no matter what the context is.
As we go along, I will introduce you to more rules and concepts.

Tips for Grammar Cloze 

1. Always remember to read the passage once through first even with the blanks given.

2. Understand the passage and note down the main idea of the passage.

3. Highlight key words (prepositions, words that provide clues for the grammar structure such as plural/singular/tenses/phrasal verbs)

Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
