components of the sentence . That is , which is the subject (noun ) , predicate
(verb ) , object (noun ) , adverbs , and etc.
Consider each answer is
available , choose the most appropriate to complete the sentence in
question.You have to pay attention to each answer in the answer choices ( A ) ,
( B ) , ( C ) , and ( D ) . By looking carefully you will soon find out which
one is the right choice to fill the gap in the sentence in question . Of course
you need to equip themselves with adequate grammar abilities . So it is

Never eliminate an answer
choice just look at the answer without seeing the phrase about In general ,
each answer choice is true when it stands alone . An answer choice is right or

dad is working in the garden . ' The second ' the girl is my neighbor ' and '
who is looking at me . ' From the above examples we can conclude that the
clause was part of the sentence or the sentence itself that has a subject and a
verb . It is generally understood that the clause is a group of words that
contains a subject and a verb .
In this skill will be learned about the forms
of coordinate conjunctions connector and its use in the sentence . Coordinate
connector is used to connect between one another clause by clause . Common
coordinate connector examples are: and , but , or , so , yet . Note the use of
commas before.

Tips of structure in toefl:
Multiple choice TOFL Structure can be tricky even if you
know the correct answer. The following Nine Step Plan is an approach to help
you methodically answer these multiple choice question.
1) Read the quwstons carefully for both meaning and
structure, nothing any errors which you recognize immediately.
2) Think of what the answer might be before you look at
the answer among the choices. When you think the answer first and then find the
answer among the choices, that answer is very likely to correct.
3) Read the choices and try to select the correct answer.
However, don’t expect to recognize the correct answer immediately. Remember do
not panic. Your plan as TOEFL test taker should always be to try to figure out
the correct answer.
4) Even if you think A or B is the correct answer.
Thoughtfully read and consider the reamining choices so that you are absolutely
certain that A or B is truly correct.
5) Eliminate incorrect choices. Have a system for noting
the correct answer, possibly by circling the letter in your test booklet, and
for eliminating wrong answer, possible by putting an “x” over the letter of the
choice.
6) Remember the five error areas that explained in the
review section. Carefully look at the whole sentence and the way it is put
together.
7) Remember to assume that all punctuaction,
capitalization, and spelling on the test correct, and to ignore anything that
can not be corrected by the choice offered.
8) Select your answer after narrowing down your choices,
pick the one you think is best. Always try to eliminate choices before
selesting an answer and marking it on your answer sheet.
9) If you have absolutely no idea what the correct answer
may be, even after considering all the choices, guess.
