Помните, что задания этого типа проверяют ваше знание основных правил английской грамматики и словоупотребления. Они не нацелены на проверку ваших знаний английской пунктуации или орфографии.

Вопросы из раздела Sentence Correction проверяют, насколько хорошо вы владеете знаниями в области письменного СТАНДАРТНОГО английского языка. Речь идет о формализованном, деловом, языке, который встречается в учебниках и периодических изданиях. Английский язык по природе своей очень краткий, выразительный и лаконичный.
