💡 Exam Tips
â€ĸ Use complete sentences when answering questions about daily routines.
â€ĸ Use ‘at’ before exact clock time: at six o’clock, at 9 p.m.
â€ĸ Use ‘in’ before parts of the day: in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening.
â€ĸ Use ‘at night’ as a fixed expression.
â€ĸ Remember the subject-verb agreement: Sagar gets, Mita goes, but I get and we go.
â€ĸ For ‘Why’ questions, give a reason with ‘because’.
â€ĸ For ‘Who’ questions, answer with a person; for ‘Where’ questions, answer with a place.
â€ĸ In True/False questions, correct every false sentence using information from the passage.
â€ĸ Pay attention to am and pm: morning times normally use a.m.; afternoon and night times normally use p.m.
â€ĸ Learn the difference between ‘leave’ and ‘return’: leave means go away, while return means come back.
