5 Tips to Obtain the Best Score of Structure Questions of TOEFL

5 Tips to Obtain the Best Score of Structure Questions of TOEFL
Based on my experience in doing the test of TOEFL, I collect five strategies for structure and written expression are as following, and I am sure that these tips work on you. Just check this one out!

1. First study the sentence. Your purpose is to determine what is needed to complete the sentence correctly. 

2.  Then study each answer based on how well it completes the sentence. Eliminate answers that do not complete the sentence correctly. 

3.  Do not try to eliminate incorrect answers by looking only at the answers. The incorrect answers are generally correct by themselves. The incorrect answers are generally incorrect only when used to complete the sentence. 

4.   Never leave any answers blank. Be sure to answer each question even if you are unsure of the correct response. 

5. Do not spend too much time on the structure questions. Be sure to leave adequate time for the written expression questions.
Introduction to the Structure Questions 
Questions 1 through 15 test your knowledge of the correct structure of English sentences. They are multiple choice questions in which you must choose the letter of the answer that best completes the sentence.
Example:
..... is taking a trip to New York.
(A) They
(B) When
(C) The woman
(D) Her
In this example, you should notice immediately that the sentence has a verb (is taking) and that the verb needs a subject. Answer (B) and (D) are incorrect because when and her are not subjects. In answer (A) they is a subject but they is plural and the verb is taking is singular. The correct answer is (C), the woman can be a singular subject. You should therefore choose answer (C).

How to Improve English Grammar Tenses?

Tense and It's Categories

To improve English grammar test tenses online
Tense is grammatical expression of location in time. It is the relationship between the form of the verb and the time of the action or state it describes. Tense belongs to grammatical marking on verbs that usually indicates time reference relative to the either the time of speaking or the time at which some other situation was in force. On the other hand, grammatical form of verbs is usually discussed in connection with tense. The description of verb forms differs according to the way the term tense is interpreted. In the interpretation of tense can be based on the form of the verb. 
According to this interpretation, there are only two tenses, that is, a present and a past-each of which is marked by different forms in the lexical verb itself or in the auxiliary used with it. The semantic component of time is only secondary to the structural form. Many modern grammarians favor this two-tense system based on form alone.
 Tenses are discussed in connection with the grammatical form of verbs to interpret the time of the action or situation.
