Period = Semicolon = Comma + and/but  \n2. 2 commas = 2 dashes = non-essential clause. When crossed out, the sentence still makes sense.  \n3. It’s = it is; Its = possessive form of it; its’= does not exist  \n4. Colon = list or explanation. Need a complete sentence before but not after.  \n5. BEING, usually = WRONG  \n6. Could/would/should/might HAVE, not OF  \n7. No comma before or after a preposition (of, by, to, at, for, from, with, in, on) , or the word that  \n8. Comma before it, he, she, they usually = WRONG  \n9. Singular verbs end in –s, plural verbs do not end in –s (e.g. she reads, they read)  \n10. Keep pronouns consistent: one = one, you = you  \n11. Who is for people, which is for things, where is for places (e.g. the time/book where = WRONG)  \n12. Use who before a verb (who went, NOT whom went); use whom after a preposition (e.g. by whom, NOT by who) .  \n13. All items in a list must match (noun, noun, noun or verb, verb, verb)  \n14. Always underline NOT, LEAST, and EXCEPT  \nRhetoric  \n1. Shorter is better  \n2. Context is key: if you’re not sure of the answer, read a sentence before and a sentence after.  \n3. OMIT/DELETE: check that option first because it’s usually right.  \n4. Transitions within/between sentences: physically cross out the original transition and determine the relationship (e.g. continue, contradict, emphasize) between the two sentences or halves of a sentence BEFORE you look at the answer choices.  \n5. Transitions between paragraphs: read at least a few sentences of the paragraph that the transition is intended to begin. The end of the previous paragraph might not be important.  \n6. Insert/Delete: reread the paragraph and state the topic in your own words before checking the answer choices. If the sentence is directly relevant to that topic, it belongs. If not, it doesn’t.  \n7. Purpose of a passage: determine whether the topic is specific or general, then “yes” or “no.”","cbCaih8FlpjRqcXE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih8FlpjRqcXE","pdf",76465,"English","# Grammar\n## Punctuation and common errors\n## Verb forms and pronouns\n## Word choice (who/which/where) and parallel structure\n# Rhetoric\n## Reading strategies and elimination","[{\"question\":\"What punctuation rules does the cheat sheet emphasize for SAT/ACT grammar?\",\"answer\":\"It treats period/semicolon/comma relationships and explains when commas or colons are correct, such as using a colon for lists or explanations.
