The test makers ask the same grammar mistakes on every test. Master these grammar rules and feel confident on test day.  \nTo learn and practice all of the strategies that you need to score higher on the SAT join [www.methodtestprep.com](www.methodtestprep.com).  \nSubject-Verb Agreement  \nThe most common grammar mistake that students are tested on is subject-verb agreement. Here is an example:  \nThe committee, made up of several women, are deciding on the school budget next week. No error.  \nA B C D E  \nThe mistake is choice “C”.  \nThe subject of this sentence is “committee”, which is singular and therefore needs a singular verb.“Is” should replace “are” in this sentence.  \nThis sentence contains a clause. The clause is the fragment of the sentence between the two commas, and it separates the subject from the verb. Therefore, you are tricked to think that the verb (“are”) should agree with “women”. In this case, read the sentence and eliminate the clause, so that the subject and the verb come directly after each other. By doing this, you will be able to tell if the subject does not agree with the verb.  \nHere is a second example:  \nWe enjoyed the brilliant sunshine of the beach so much that day that when  \nA B  \nwe left there was only one couple and one lifeguard still there.  No error.  \nC D E  \nThe mistake is in choice “C”.  \n“One couple and one lifeguard” is an example of a compound subject. A compound subject is when there is more than one person in the subject. A compound subject must always go with a plural verb. “Was” is a singular verb; “were” is a plural verb and should be used instead.  \nSAT Grammar Rules Packet  \nSubject-Pronoun Agreement  \nAnother grammar mistake they ask about constantly is subject-pronoun agreement. This is a lot easier to understand than it sounds. An example will help you understand exactly what to look out for:  \nA smart tennis player such as Samantha is someone who knows how to  \nA B  \nmove around the court, can hit winners at the net, and controls their emotions.  No error.  \nC D E  \nThe mistake is in choice D.  \n“Their” is a plural pronoun. The antecedent, and subject in the sentence,“player”, is singular. Instead of using “their”, the sentence should have used “her” as the pronoun.  \nParallel Sentence Structure  \nA third grammar concept that is commonly tested on the SAT writing section is called parallel sentence structure. Here is an example of a sentence with a mistake in parallel sentence structure.  \nIn a survey of the school’s fifth graders, playing in gym class, painting in art  \nA  \nclass, participating in science labs and lunch time were all mentioned repeatedly as  \nB C  \nfavorite activities in school.  No error.  \nD E  \nIn this sentence,“lunch time” should be changed to “eating lunch.” Each of the items that the fifth graders mentioned start with an “-ing” word. This is called parallel sentence structure. Each item in a series should be written in the same grammatical form.  \nSubject/Object of Sentence  \nThis is an important grammar rule, because it consistently appears on the SAT.  \nThe teacher asked Harry and I if we could, due to the upcoming  \nA B  \nexams, attend her review class after school. No error.  \nC D E  \nThe mistake in this sentence is choice “A”. In this sentence,“Harry and I” is the object of the sentence, which means “Harry and I” should be changed to “Harry and me”. If this was the subject of the sentence, then “Harry and I” would be correct  \nSAT Grammar Rules Packet  \nProper Verb Tense  \nThe SAT also tests students on proper verb tense. Here is a sentence that contains an improper verb tense:  \nThe three coaches decided not to pick the team right after practice  \nA B  \nthat day, but they do talk on the phone and made the final  \nC  \ndecisions that night.  No error.  \nD E  \nChoice C contains the mistake because “do” is in the present tense. “Do” should be changed to","cbCaiaDA5WC16gMX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaDA5WC16gMX","pdf",271922,"English","# SAT Grammar Rules Packet\n## Subject-Verb Agreement\n## Subject-Pronoun Agreement\n## Parallel Sentence Structure\n## Subject/Object of Sentence\n## Proper Verb Tense\n## Incorrect Comparisons\n## Comparative/Superlative\n## Diction Error","[{\"question\":\"What is the most common SAT grammar mistake covered in the packet?\",\"answer\":\"The packet highlights subject-verb agreement as the most common mistake, explaining how to match singular subjects with singular verbs and plural subjects with plural verbs.\"},{\"question\":\"How should a compound subject affect verb choice?\",\"answer\":\"A compound subject requires a plural verb.
