Sentence Improvement: key points

Sentence improvement asks you to replace a marked part of a sentence with the option that makes it correct.

  • Learn the fixed prepositions: prefer to, senior to, superior to.
  • After "did not" use the base form of the verb; after "has" or "have" use the past participle.
  • If the sentence is already correct, choose "No improvement".
