you should do that ... second.
the FIRST thing that you should do, on
all SC's, is to
use your common sense / intuition to determine the MEANING OF THE SENTENCE.
if you don't find the meaning of the sentence BEFORE you start analyzing its grammar, then up to half of all errors -- including
all errors involving modifiers, pronouns, and verb tenses/voices -- will be impossible to figure out.
remember --
grammar is meaningless by itself!
grammar is a vehicle to convey INTENDED MEANING!
if you don't think about the meaning of the sentences, you should consider yourself extremely lucky if you get only 7 SC problems wrong on the test.
