<p>I apologize if there already was a post about this but I was wondering if you all had any tips for the last 7-10 Spot the Error for the Writing section</p>
<p>It always seems like they are no error but there's usually something wrong and then there are times when there is something wrong and it's no error >.></p>
<p>Any tips?? Thank you</p>
<p>Yeah, sometimes i get really confused with the “no error” in thesentence id section. Any1 have any advice or prep books?</p>
<p>I would suggest this: Go through each option, and think about the many ways that it could be wrong. If it doesn’t fit into any of those categories, then that option can’t be right. Do this for all the options, until you get to the NO ERROR, which must be the answer,</p>
<p>I have that same problem. Usually it’s an idiom or word usage error. I hate those questions so much. When I check my answers it’ll say: “grammaticaly this is correct but B is better” or something dumb like that. Or, I remember one saying, “dont use aggravated, use irritated.” ***!!?</p>
<p>There really is no easy way to learn this. Just look for suspicious prepositions and verbs.</p>
<p>Any1 else with better advice?</p>
<p>One technique you can use for the idioms is replacing that word with one you’re more familiar with.
For example, “I prevented Jan from making the biggest mistake of her life.” The idiom here is from, for the word prevented. If you substituted the word, lets say, stopped, the idiom usage would sound much more clear. “I stopped Jan from making the biggest mistake of her life.”</p>
