 An
Overview
The grammar section, 15 points, includes only one
type of exercise:
30 Sentence Completions
This section usually includes two
stories or conversations of 15 questions each. In order to answer
each question correctly, the test-taker may need to consider how the sentence
'fits' into the larger context.
As in the reading comprehension
section, the question types
are fairly typical of any standardized exam. For example, questions might focus on verb forms (agreement,
tense,
aspect, mood); modal verbs; conditionals and “wish”;
transition words; word
order; inverted word order; gerunds and infinitives; embedded
questions; reported speech, or other advanced grammar.
Although some English grammar differs
depending on dialect (e.g. British vs. American), these
differences do not appear on the exam. All ELPE grammar
questions have only one correct answer for all native speakers of
English.
