Just These 9 Grammar Rules Are Enough to Crush SAT English! - Part 1
There is certainly no one formula to ace the SAT Reading and Writing section. However, one aspect that certainly helps students is understanding standard English conventions–comprehending sentence structures, identifying the use of punctuations, and understanding the grammar behind sentences, can help students do well on the SAT exam.
In this piece, we discuss some of the most important grammar rules that are tested on the SAT Reading and Writing section. Apart from the rules, we will also discuss, by means of certain examples, how those rules can be applied to solve questions with accuracy and efficiency. Let’s begin with rule number 1.
1. Subject Verb agreement
Before we delve deeper into this rule, let’s understand what subjects and verbs in a sentence are.
The ‘subject’ of a sentence is that part of the sentence that names the person or the thing that is spoken about. Verb is generally defined as the word used to describe an action, state, or an occurrence.
The ‘Subject Verb Agreement’ rule warrants that, in a sentence, the subject of the sentence must agree with the verb in number. So, singular subjects must use singular verbs while plural subjects must use plural verbs.
Have a look at two sentences below:
1. Harry has worked on this project.
2. Harry and Amanda have worked on the project.
3. Harry works hard each day to meet the deadline.
4. Harry and Amanda work hard each day to meet the deadline.
In the first sentence, the subject is Harry. And because the subject is singular, the verb used is a singular ‘has.’ In the second sentence, however, the subjects are Harry and Amanda, and, hence, a plural verb ‘have’ has been used.

I joined here for my SAT classes on September 2020. They are one of the best prep centres in chennai. They really help you form the very begining till the end. Due to Covid -19 I attended the classes online. But still the classes were really interactive and they made it understand easily. We had exams every weekend. I was so happy about the way they conducted webinars to encourage students about choosing there major and other things too. My admission counselor Mrs. Sowmya mam so polite and well co-operative. She clarifies my doubts calmly whenever I called her. I am so glad that she was my counselor. All credits belongs to her. I am glad that I enrolled in jamboree. So grateful for them!

For GMAT, I can vouch for it. There's not another far within its vicinity. It has been a month since I started my classes and the difference is starkingly clear. I'm up from an accuracy of 60% to 80% already. I've been awed at how well the faculties conduct the classes here. I only wish I was instructed so well in school. Life would've been so much easier. They are available, even on calls, if you have to clear doubts or just need a pep-talk. Mental preparation is very essential for GMAT and the faculties do take care to get you to the peak of your mental preparation. I'm someone who'll always ask the silliest of questions, and back in school I'd probably be made fun of by my teachers. Here, it's a completely different story. I've never been so comfortable with learning, asking questions. The most basic ones as well. They understand and take care to strengthen your root concepts of the subject. I definitely feel much more confident than I started off with and that has only been possible because of the faculties here. If I have to comment on the material, it goes without saying that Jamboree has one of the best materials for GMAT in the world. They have everything about the test figured out. Best bang for the buck.
