nasıl Çözülür?

• İlk önce bu soru türünün sınavlara neden konulduğunun cevabını öğrenelim. Daha önceki sınavlarda öğrencinin kelimenin doğru halini bilip bilmediği sorulamıyordu. Yani kelimenin sıfat, zarf, fiil ve isim halini sorulamıyordu. Gramerdeki belli başlı yapılar sorulamıyordu. Örneğin, gerund/infinitive, bazı fiillerin özel durumları (help sb to do sth, help sb do sth, help to do sth, help do sth) vb.

• Bu sorularda önemli olan unsur parçanın tamamını anlamak değildir. Boşluğun verildiği cümleyi anlamak yeterlidir. Eğer bize bağlaç soruluyorsa iki ayrı cümleyi de anlamak gerekmektedir.

• Bu sorularda yer alan kelime soruları “this, that, these, those, the, another, other” gibi kalıpların arkasından gelen kelimeler sorulur. Çünkü bu kelimeler bir önceki cümleye gönderme yapar.

• Bazı kelimelerin birbirleriyle sık kullanımı bize sorulabilir.

• Sıfat cümleciklerinin daha farklı türleri bize sorulabilir.

• Boşluktan sonra yer alan preposition (ilgeçler)’e dayalı kelime soruları bize sorulabilir.

• Phrasal verbs konusunda çeşitli sorular sorulabilir.

• Many/some people think …………………. . Others bize sorulabilir. Ancak parça olarak yer aldığı için aradaki cümleler uzun olabilir.

• Not only(just,merely,solely) …….. but also / not only ……. but …….. as well / not only ………. but ……. too / not only ……. but ya da neither ……. nor / either ……. or / both …….. and yapıları sorulabilir. Ancak bu yapıların arasında kullanılan ifadeler uzun olabilir ve bu yüzden cümleleri iyi takip etmek gerekmektedir.

• Bu sorunun bir diğer özelliği çok basit bir ifadeyi bile bize sorabilir ancak karmaşık bir formda sunarak bize sorar.

• Bu soruları rahat bir şekilde cevaplayabilmek için bol bol parça çalışması yapmamız gerekmektedir. Okuduğumuz her cümleyi gramer ve kelime olarak incelemeliyiz.
