Through this book, pupils are able to record their progress and note their improvement when doing the exercises. This book has 100 exercises designed to test pupils’ proficiency in grammar. The first 80 exercises are grouped according to specific grammar components for focused learning. The last 20 exercises serve as a form of revision. This will help pupils fully understand grammatical and linguistic features that are relevant and required for pupils to achieve a strong grasp of grammar. This book aims to strengthen pupils’ proficiency in grammar, which will help them in other key areas like writing and speaking. This will result in them scoring better grades in their English Language examination. Along with an improvement in their examination grades, it is hoped that they can also grow to be competent speakers and writers of the English language. Nir Exercise 1 Proper Nouns Exercise 3.
