Subject–Verb Agreement

The verb must agree with the subject in number.

Singular subject → singular verb

Plural subject → plural verb

Examples

She runs fast. ✅

They run fast. ✅

Rule 1: Ignore words between subject and verb

Prepositional phrases do NOT affect the verb.

Pattern: Subject + (of / with / along with / as well as / in) + noun

Examples:

The list of items is long. ✅

The basket of apples was heavy. ✅

❌ Wrong: The list of items are long.

Rule 2: Indefinite pronouns

Some pronouns are always singular.

Everyone, Someone, Anyone, Each, Either, Neither

Example:

Everyone is ready. ✅

Each of the students has a book. ✅

Rule 3: Either…or / Neither…nor

The verb agrees with the subject closest to it.

Examples:

Either the teachers or the principal is coming. ✅

Neither the principal nor the teachers are coming. ✅

Rule 4: Collective nouns

Words like team, class, family are usually singular in exams.

Example:

The team is winning. ✅

Rule 5: Titles, subjects, and measurements

These are singular, even if they look plural.

Examples:

Mathematics is difficult.

Ten years is a long time.

ADZU SHAPE ENGLISH – ADJECTIVES, ADVERBS,

PREPOSITIONS & CONJUNCTIONS COMPREHENSIVE
REVIEWER

I. ADJECTIVES

1. Definition

An adjective is a word that describes, modifies, or limits a noun or pronoun.

Examples:


The red apple is sweet.



She is tall and smart.

2. Types of Adjectives
 Type Definition Examples

Descriptive Describes qualities or states happy, tall, beautiful, old

Quantitative Indicates quantity some, many, few, several

Demonstrativ Points out specific nouns this, that, these, those

e

Possessive Shows ownership my, your, his, her, our,

their

Interrogative Used in questions which, what, whose

Proper Derived from proper nouns American, Shakespearean

Articles Defines noun as a, an, the

specific/unspecific

⚠️SHAPE Tip: Adjectives can come before a noun (attributive) or after a linking
verb (predicative).

Examples:


Attributive: The happy child laughed.



Predicative: The child is happy.

3. Comparison of Adjectives

Positive → tall, smart



Comparative → taller, smarter (add -er / more)



Superlative → tallest, smartest (add -est / most)


Examples:


She is taller than her brother.



He is the smartest in the class.


⚠️SHAPE Trap: Irregular adjectives → good → better → best, bad → worse → worst
 II. ADVERBS

1. Definition

An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, showing:


Manner → how (slowly, carefully)



Time → when (now, yesterday, soon)



Place → where (here, there, nearby)



Frequency → how often (always, often, rarely)



Degree / Quantity → how much (very, too, almost)


Examples:



Place here, there, everywhere,

outside

Frequency always, often, rarely,

Degree very, almost, too, quite

Interrogativ how, when, where, why

e
 3. Comparison of Adverbs

Some adverbs can also be comparative and superlative:



quickly → more quickly → most quickly



well → better → best


⚠️SHAPE Tip: Do not confuse adjectives and adverbs → “She runs quick” ❌ should
be “She runs quickly” ✅

III. PREPOSITIONS

1. Definition

A preposition shows a relationship between a noun/pronoun and another word in the

sentence, often expressing:


Time → at, on, in, during



Place / Direction → at, in, on, to, into, under



Cause / Reason → because of, due to, for




below

Cause / Reason because of, due to, for

Instrument / by, with, via

Means

Other about, of, from, between, among, against

Relationships

⚠️SHAPE Tip: Avoid double prepositions → “He is waiting for at the station” ❌ → “He

IV. CONJUNCTIONS

1. Definition

A conjunction connects words, phrases, or clauses.

2. Types of Conjunctions

Type Use Examples

Coordinating Connects equal words/clauses and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so

Correlative Pairs to connect equal elements either…or, neither…nor, both…and, not only…
but also

Subordinating Connects dependent clause to main because, although, since, if, when, while, unless
clause

Conjunctive Shows relation between independent however, therefore, moreover, consequently

Adverbs clauses

Examples:


Coordinating: I like tea and coffee.



Correlative: Either you study hard or you fail.



Subordinating: I stayed home because it rained.


Conjunctive Adverbs: She failed the exam; however, she did not give up.

3. Common SHAPE Traps

1.
Comma before conjunction

2.

Correct: I like coffee, but I prefer tea.



Incorrect: I like coffee but I prefer tea. ❌ (minor, but exam-focused schools often check
punctuation)


3.
Subordinating conjunctions cannot stand alone

4.

Wrong: Because it rained. ❌ → needs main clause: Because it rained, we stayed
home. ✅


5.
Correlative pairs must match

6.

Wrong: Either you study hard or studying is useless ❌ → should be: Either you study
hard or you fail. ✅

ChatGPT said:

Absolutely! Let’s make a comprehensive SHAPE-style reviewer on Error

Identification, fully structured for exam mastery, including rules, common traps,
examples, and practice questions.

ADZU SHAPE ENGLISH – ERROR IDENTIFICATION

COMPREHENSIVE REVIEWER
 I. DEFINITION
Error Identification (EI) is the skill of finding mistakes in grammar, word usage,
sentence structure, punctuation, or spelling in a given sentence or passage.

Goal: Spot the wrong part of a sentence and understand why it is incorrect.

Example:


“She don’t like ice cream.”



Error: “don’t” → should be “doesn’t”

II. COMMON TYPES OF ERRORS

1. Subject-Verb Agreement

The subject and verb must agree in number and person.



Singular → singular verb; plural → plural verb.


Examples:


She walks to school. ✅



They walks to school. ❌ (should be “walk”)


SHAPE Traps:


Collective nouns: “The committee is/are meeting today.” (singular if acting as one unit)



Indefinite pronouns: “Everyone have a pen.” ❌ → “has” ✅


 2. Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement

Pronouns must agree with their antecedent in number and gender.


Examples:


Every student should bring his/her notebook. ✅



Every student should bring their notebook. ❌ (formal exams prefer “his/her”)


Traps:


Ambiguous pronouns → “Maria told Anna she was late.” ❌ Who is “she”?

3. Verb Tense Errors


Tense must match time reference in the sentence.


Examples:


I go to school yesterday. ❌ → “went” ✅



She will finished her homework. ❌ → “will finish” ✅


Traps:


Mixing past, present, future incorrectly



Overusing perfect tenses unnecessarily


 4. Incorrect Use of Articles

a / an / the / no article mistakes are common.


Examples:


I saw an elephant. ✅



I saw a elephant. ❌ → should be “an”


Traps:


Omit article before singular countable nouns: “I bought ___ book.” → “a book” ✅

5. Preposition Errors

Prepositions show relationship of time, place, direction, or cause.


Examples:


She is good at math. ✅



She is good in math. ❌


Traps:


Using wrong preposition after verb: depend on, consist of, etc.

6. Adjective/Adverb Errors

Using an adjective instead of adverb or vice versa.


 Examples:


He runs quickly. ✅



He runs quick. ❌


Traps:


Confusing comparative and superlative forms: “more better” ❌ → “better” ✅

7. Misplaced / Dangling Modifiers


Modifier must clearly refer to the correct word.


Examples:


