OVERVIEW

What This Book Is About

When it comes to buiding essential grammatical skills , practice plays an important role in
improving the required skills. Keeping this mind I have carefully collated some important
questions asked in different competitive examinations. After analyzing the current developments
in the current scenario of competitve examinations , I also realized that practicing previous year
questions alone would not do much good. Keeping the ever changing trend and complexity in
mind I have also tried to craft some important questions which can be asked in this new era of
competitive examinations.
If your concepts are not up to the mark and you lack essential English skills to crack the exam. I
would advice you to develop a better understanding of conceptual modern day grammar. To
help you in this regard, I run a free youtube channel which consists of hundreds of lectures (
chapterwise) based on conceptual grammar. It is strongly recommended that you pursue those
lessons before dwelling into the practice part.
