Just These 9 Grammar Rules Are Enough to Crush SAT English! - Part 1
There is certainly no one formula to ace the SAT Reading and Writing section. However, one aspect that certainly helps students is understanding standard English conventions–comprehending sentence structures, identifying the use of punctuations, and understanding the grammar behind sentences, can help students do well on the SAT exam.
In this piece, we discuss some of the most important grammar rules that are tested on the SAT Reading and Writing section. Apart from the rules, we will also discuss, by means of certain examples, how those rules can be applied to solve questions with accuracy and efficiency. Let’s begin with rule number 1.
1. Subject Verb agreement
Before we delve deeper into this rule, let’s understand what subjects and verbs in a sentence are.
The ‘subject’ of a sentence is that part of the sentence that names the person or the thing that is spoken about. Verb is generally defined as the word used to describe an action, state, or an occurrence.
The ‘Subject Verb Agreement’ rule warrants that, in a sentence, the subject of the sentence must agree with the verb in number. So, singular subjects must use singular verbs while plural subjects must use plural verbs.
Have a look at two sentences below:
1. Harry has worked on this project.
2. Harry and Amanda have worked on the project.
3. Harry works hard each day to meet the deadline.
4. Harry and Amanda work hard each day to meet the deadline.
In the first sentence, the subject is Harry. And because the subject is singular, the verb used is a singular ‘has.’ In the second sentence, however, the subjects are Harry and Amanda, and, hence, a plural verb ‘have’ has been used.

I needed counselling for college applications, selection and documents preparation. I used Jamboree services after I wrote my GRE and TOEFL tests and they were very helpful with shortlisting colleges, drafting all the documents necessary and helped me end to end in deciding the best college for me. Their database of college info is very exhaustive and trustworthy.
They are very prompt and followed up to make sure everything is done much in advance. I appreciate the work done by my counsellor (Mr. Sumit) who was very professional and sincere in his duties.
In my personal opinion, they do a great job in counselling students to make a well informed decision about your education. They are also worth the money (bonus points)

With a time constraint of a month and a half to prepare for GRE, I needed complete and comprehensive prep assistance. At Jamboree, they provide an in depth understanding of strategies and concepts needed to master the GRE. The faculty were very patient and ensured that all concepts were thoroughly clear. The strategies taught in verbal can help solve seemingly impossible questions. In quant, concepts are taught based on their application in questions which really helps. Faculty were really forthcoming with doubt clearing sessions, even coming to the centre on a holiday in order to accommodate me. The staff were very warm and helpful. With a huge question bank, mirroring the type that come in GRE, and comprehensive coverage of topics in both their books, Jamboree really gave me an edge while attempting the GRE. Their well equipped lab and website, containing several mock tests, really helped get an understanding of the actual test experience, causing me to be less nervous on test day. Scores of 169 in verbal, and 159 in quant, making an overall score of 328 are really due in a huge part to the team at Jamboree.
