The SSC exams, the English questions usually come in the multiple of ves e.g. 5 question on
synonyms, then 5 on antonyms and so on. (tier 1)
Similarly in tier-ii, 10 questions on ll in the blanks, 20 questions on active passive and so on.
Please do not live in overcon dence that SSC is a pappu exam and Im a master of English. so I
dont need to prepare anything for vocabulary or grammar.
If you observe the previous SSC papers particularly the tier-II papers of English, the vocabulary
portion is not pappu at times, they ask meaning of words that are not used in the day to day
English.
Similarly, a lot of things that we say and write in English in our day-to-day life, are not
grammatically correct. So you may not be able to tick the right choice in sentence correct/
improvement question.
First of all, get a fullscape notebook / diary. Divide it into two parts

1. Grammar
2. Vocabulary. (last 50 pages)

Vocabulary?
Vocabulary is of critical importance in SSC exam because of following reasons

1. There are direct questions on synonyms, antonyms, idioms and phrases.


2. You can read the passage faster, if your vocabulary is good, else youll have to pause and think.
3. In comprehension passages, some questions are in the format of what is the meaning of XYZ
word in the sentence

Apart from SSC, if youre planning to appear for CAPF , LIC or PSU exams they usually have a
descriptive paper (prcis, letter writing, essay etc.)

If youre planning for UPSC, or State PSC, both have compulsory English paper during Mains.
Again (prcis, letter writing, essay etc.)
So, youll have to write English essay someday and without good vocabulary you cant write a
decent essay.

How to improve vocabulary?


There is no dearth of ready-made books in the market for vocabulary.
Any Tom Dick or Harry can download a list of synonyms, antonyms, idioms and phrases from
Google search and publish a book.
But such books are useless because unfamiliar words dont stay long-term memory.

Vocab: Basics
Most of the so-called books on English vocabulary,
written by Indian authors, and merely rephrasing the
concept of Norman Lewiss book Word Power made
easy+ copy pasting some synonyms-antonym list from
google search.
My advice: Use this book called Word Power made easy
by Norman Lewis
(http://www. ipkart.com/search-book?
a d=mrunalrugm&wgtid=FK-AF-
SB&query=9788183071000)
This book does not merely contain meaning of words but
also helps you guestimate answers and probable
meanings of unfamiliar words.
Because Norman Lewis explains how English vocabulary
has evolved from certain roots. He has also explained the
spelling rules.
(http://www. ipkart.com/search-
book? Once youre selected in some exam, gift this book to your
a d=mrunalrugm&wgtid=FK- siblings, friends or cousin. Really helpful for everyone,
AF-SB&query=9788183071000)
irrespective whether he/she is appearing in some
competitive exam / not.

How-to approach Norman Lewis?


From outside, the book looks very thick and heavy just like Manorama yearbook.But actually this
book is written in a very lucid, easy, reader friendly language. You can read it like a storybook after-
dinner.

Structure of the book

This is subdivided into About 40 sessions (mini-chapters).


Basics of Try to nish 3-4 sessions per day. Complete all the exercises given at the
vocabulary
end of each session.

In the appendix, he has given meaning of all the words you learned in
above sessions.
I suggest you go through this list at least three times.
Appendix Why? Because while going through old papers of SSC, I realized that
sometimes theyve directly lifted words from this book in synonyms
question!
Vocabulary: Advanced

(http://wordweb.info/free/)

Download free software called WordWeb: http://wordweb.info/free/


(http://wordweb.info/free/)
It is also available for android phones, tablets etc. for free (links on the same site).
Keep a habit of reading in English on daily basis- be itEnglish-newspaper, magazine or some
web-article.
While reading such things, whenever you come across any di cult word- note down in your
diary, along with the sentence in which it appeared. (please keep in mind that absolute words
do not stay long-term memory. You have to connect them with a sentence or context.)
Then lookup for its meaning in the Wordweb software, and write down the meaning back in
your diary/notebook.
Repeat this exercise, until youre selected in some exam.

This pretty concludes the approach for Vocabulary.

Moving to the next topic:

English Grammar: Approach


In the SSC exam, you have to face English grammar in following areas
1. Sentence correction
2. Sentence improvement.
3. Active passive
4. direct indirect speech

Approaching Grammar

Task #1: Active Passive (voice) and Direct-Indirect (speech)


This is no-excuse topic. Because it relies on a set of simple rules, almost like math formulas.
And usually Tier I has 10 questions on Voice+speech
and tier-II has almost 40-45 questions on these two topics alone.
Understand the grammar rules and practice maximum questions.
In your diary note down any special/odd rules you come across- including example sentences.

Task #2: Sentence Correction+Improvement


To master sentence correction, youve to master two subtopics:

1. Grammar rules
2. Phrasal verbs

Grammar Rules

First of all you need to know the grammar rules. But you dont need to know all grammar rules!
Because in competitive exam, sentence correction relies on certain speci c mistakes only.

For example: The topic verb has lot of theory and classi cations.

But for sentence correction, it boils down to very few rules for example

1. Either, Neither, none, each and every is singular.

Wrong Each of the soldiers are disciplined

Right Each of the soldiers is disciplined.

Your task = rst go through your grammar book, and note down such rules with example
statements, in your note book. Revise these rules often (along with example sentences).

Phrasal Verbs

Grammar rules are like maths. Universal valid.


But Phrasal verbs are di erent game altogether. You need to know memorize the correct
usage- case to case basis. For example:

Correct phrasal verb Wrong Usage

Dispose of= sell. He has decided to dispose o his property.

Dispose to= willing, interested. He is disposed in discussing that business proposition.

Both statements are wrong because phrasal verbs are incorrectly used.
Many a times, candidates know the grammar rules very well, but they fail to detect the error in
sentence because theyve not prepared the phrasal verbs.
Standard English has truckload of phrasal verbs. But you should at least know the top/common
200 of them. (can begoggledand also available in various grammar books).
You next task: revise the list often and write down the very confusing ones into your diary: with
example sentence.

Once this is done, try to solve as many practice questions as you can.

Comprehension + Sentence Arrangement


Just one word: Practice.
The best source for practice= old papers of SSC, IBPS.

Recommended Book for English Grammar


There is no dearth of books on in English-grammar in the
market.
Some people might even advise you to use Wren and
Martin (http://http://www. ipkart.com/high-school-
english-grammar-
composition/p/itmdytg8qkrzygyu&a d=mrunalrugm)
etc. but such books are written from board exams/
academic point of view. And for the competitive exams,
we dont need to study everything of English grammar, we
just need a set of rules and practice questions.
If you already have some IBPS Manual/ some English
grammar book (R.S.Agarwal, A.P.Bhardwaj) etc. use it.
If you dont have any book, I suggest you go for objective
general English by SP Bakshi (Arihant Publication).
(http://www. ipkart.com/objective-general-
english/p/itmdyuqqgafhtehp?
pid=9788183480000&a d=mrunalrugm)
He has given direct rules and example-sentences from
competitive exam point of view. =makes it easy to handle
(http://www. ipkart.com/search- sentence correction.
book?
Plus, the book also contains good list of phrasal verbs,
a d=mrunalrugm&wgtid=FK-
AF-SB&query=9788183480000) idioms and vocabulary.
While most English grammar books cost for around
Rs.300, SP Bakshi is half that price. (Around 150) and yet
coverage is same, including number of pages. And it has
Universal application for all exams: IBPS, LIC, PSU, CDS
etc.

Note: Arihant publication has released multiple books on English grammar and two of them have
similar sounding names. So please donot mixup.

ANUJ PATHAK
English books
(1) rst you have to go for lower level i.e 6th 7 th 8th books. but you
publication should be highly repudated.
(2) after this you can purchase books Lucent English Grammer. Read this
book chapter by chapter and ensure that every chapter will be take time as
your potential. (Min -8 days)
All of are wonder why I am saying that 8 days for 1 chapter .
because if you read chapter in hurriedly then you always read a chapter
di erent books but you does not make con dence in chapter. And this
problems persist.
(3) practice exercise that will check your understanding about chapter and
prepare for competition
(4) for vocab read the newspaper like Hindu and Times of India. ( Hindu is
hard)
and write the meaning in copy.
This advice only for Hindu medium students whom English is took weak.
English medium students only read news papers and give exam i.e enough.
