內文 : The majority of educated people speak and write what is called Standard English. It includes the most widely accepted uses of grammar, mechanics, and spelling. StandardEnglish can be informal or formal. Informal English is everyday English, the English used in advertising, on television, in conversation, or in personal letters. While informal English may contain contractions and casual phrases, it usually does not contain slang or improper grammar. Formal English is just that-formal and standard. It is the English that people use to express themselves in serious writing and speaking. Using formal English well means being precise and effective in your expression. This is the kind of English that you must demonstrate on the SATWriting test.

Grammar tested on the SATis included in the Writing test. The Writing test includes multiple-choice questions that assess your knowledge of Standard Written English. Much of the multiple-choice portion of the writing test deals with problem sentences, and some of the questions in the Improving Paragraphs section also ask about sentences.

This book won’t be a straight grammar lesson. But it provides basic information for the multiple-choice section on the Writing test, as well as suggestions for developing a strategy for attacking the questions. The grammar, usage, mechanics, and word choice decisions that you need to make to answer the multiple-choice questions correctly can sensitize you to look for and correct similar problems in your own writing.

I. Basic Informatio

1. The multiple-choice section contains three types of questions.

● Identifying Sentence Errors (18questions)You must recognize errors in grammar and Standard Written English usage.

● Improving Sentences (25questions)

You must choose the most effective and correct version of a sentence. This sectiontests your knowledge of grammar and Standard Written English usage as well assentence structure.

● Improving Paragraphs (6questions)

You must improve the logic, coherence, or organization of a paragraph, again using themost effective and correct choice given.

2. There will be two multiple-choice sections, one 25minutes long and one 10minuteslong.

3. You don’t have to use or define grammatical terms on the SAT, so don’t worry if yourgrasp of grammar terminology is shaky. You won’t be tested directly on spelling orcapitalization, either. Punctuation is tested only in connection with sentencestructure.

4. What does the multiple-choice section test you?

Most students’ biggest mistake on the grammar questions is basing their answers onwhat sounds right. This approach, unfortunately, is just about the worst way to go aboutanswering the questions. Most people do not speak in a grammatically correct way.

Consider the following conversation.

Tony (answering the phone): Hello? Who’s there?

Mary: It’s me.

Tony: Oh, hey, where you at?

Mary: Me and my friends are headed to the movie theater. You coming?

Tony: Cool. I’ll be there.

Now note the same conversation, edited for grammatical correctness.

Tony: Hello? Who’s there?

Mary: It is I.

Tony: Oh, hey. At what location are you?

Mary: My friend and I are going to the movie theater. Would you like to join us?

Tony: Indeed. I shall be there.

Chances are you don’t talk like this, so it sounds strange to your ear. But that doesn’tmean it’s wrong. You think that awkward or weird-sounding sentences or phrases must be wrong. ETS uses this tendency to set traps. Look at the following sentence.

The incompleteness in the witness’s testimony notwithstanding, the judge had noA B choice but to announce that the suspect was not guilty of the charges leveled against C D him. No error. E You read this sentence and something just sounds wrong to you. You can’t exactly put your finger on it, but you know you are supposed to find an error. So you decide that something must be wrong with choice B because you would never use a word such as “notwithstanding”. Once again, you have fallen into ETS’s devious trap. ETS hopes that you select answers based on how you would speak. In this case, the sentence is actually fine as written.
