For my second tutoring session with Cyan we focused on how
to improve his understanding of English grammar so that he would be able to
practice questions for the verbal section of the GMAT (the business school
entrance exam). Mainly we were focusing
on the section about “sentence correction,” in which test takers are given
complicated sentences with one part underlined and are asked to find the best
alternative version of that section from the multiple choice options. This
section of the exam can be difficult even for native English speakers if they
don’t understand grammar well. I sent him some resources that outline
strategies for tackling these questions, and together we went over some of the
main grammar concepts that come up on the exam. We reviewed parallel structure
(matching verb tenses, prepositions, etc.), subject/verb agreement,
pronoun/antecedent agreement, as well as comparison words (much, less, better,
etc.).
