Sentence Correction

Sentence Skills upper_intermediate hard

Rewriting an incorrect sentence correctly.

Sentence Skills — Detection, correction, rearrangement and translation.

Rules

1. Identify the error (agreement, tense, article, preposition). 2. Make the minimal change that fixes it. 3. Keep the original meaning and style. 4. Check the corrected sentence reads naturally. 5. For exams: choose the option that changes only the error, nothing else.

Explanation

Sentence correction tests precision: fix the error without changing the intended meaning. Minimal change is the goal.

हिंदी में

Sentence correction में गलत वाक्य को सही करना होता है — सिर्फ गलती ठीक करें, अर्थ न बदलें।

Incorrect: I am agree with you. → Correct: I agree with you. — मैं तुमसे सहमत हूँ।

{"mistake":"I am agree with you.","correction":"I agree with you.","note":"\"agree\" is a verb, not an adjective — no \"am\"."}
