You are welcome.

For précis grasp the rules of how to write one. Once you understand it the next thing is practicing.

Try to be a smart reader. Next time you read notice that a paragraph has one or two major lines that are the heart of that para..and all the other lines are just an expansion of those two lines. Those two lines will either be in start or in the end of the para and without them the para would not have any sense or weight.

Just make sure you don't compromise or miss out on the central idea of every para in a précis, and that you expand well on a central idea and make it into a decent paragraph while writing essays. Both essay and précis complement each other.

Grammar and idioms etc are all just pick up a book and read and remember and hope to God k paper mai Wo Aye ju ap ok ata ho!
