SPELLING
English spelling is an intriguing part of learning English. Max Muller went one step farther and summed up the dilemma of those learning English. "English spelling is a national misfortune to England and international misfortune to the rest of the world."
Various scholars and linguists have suggested a number of ways to learn spelling such as Dictionary method, Dictation method, Play way method, Old drill method and so on.
Without going into the merits and demerits of any methods we may agree to the sound advice of Tomlinson that 'Caught rather than taught' is the best way to leam spellings. In other words a student can solve the problem just by reading constantly and preparing a list of words that spell a danger for a student.
There are many reasons for poor spellings. A five among them are poor memory weak retention power and less of reading activity therefore, correct spellings need constant writing practice, usage and power of recollection. The more a student recollects a word, the more capability he acquires to avoid error in spelling words.
PUNCTUATION
Punctuation is a system in which marks are used in writing to indicate pauses and division of sentences. The meaning of written communication is made clear to the readers by the use of these marks. In fact punctuation is the right use of putting in marks or stops in writing.
The following are the principal marks of punctuation.
(a) Full stop (.)
(b) Question Marks (?)
(c) Exclamatory marks (!)
Besides punctuation marks the students are required to know to the use of:
(a) Capital letters
(b) How to write numerals?
A word jumble is a word puzzle that gives you a group of scrambled letters and requires you to unscramble them to make a real word. For example, if you were given the letters "m-o-c-t-e-r-u-p" you could unscramble, or un-jumble if you will, those letters to reveal the word computer.
TIPS ON SOLVING A WORD JUMBLED
REARRANGEMENT OF JUMBLED WORDS
When solving jumbled sentences or "Sequence of Words" type questions, first determine the "Subject" and the "Predicate".
SUBJECT - The part which names the person or thing we are speaking about.
PREDICATE - The part that tells something about the subject.
After identifying the subject and predicate, identify the tense used and the verbs
After identifying the subject and predicate, identify the tense used and the verbs
It's always a good idea to read the answer options to figure out the most correct sentence, than to try solving the jumbled sentence yourself.
