Common pitfalls to avoid

Many mistakes come from confusing the complete subject with the simple subject, or treating introductory phrases as the subject. Another frequent trap is missing compound subjects/predicates or getting distracted by prepositional phrases.

- Ignore prepositional phrases when locating the core subject - Watch for compound subjects joined by and/or - Don’t confuse the verb alone with the whole predicate - Be careful with inverted sentences and questions - Treat introductory clauses/phrases as extras unless they contain the subject n ## Tips to score higher

First, find the main verb, then ask “who or what does it?” to confirm the subject. If an answer choice feels close, check whether it includes all required words for the complete subject or complete predicate.
