@ Ursala

That would be so courteous of you. And for sure I will pray for you.

Meanwhile, would you kindly name any book ? Although I have 'exploring' and 'discovering' yet if you have any other under consultation, then do let me know. I want to cover my shortcomings before my next attempt.

In the light of your experience, would you elaborate why do you doubt on exploring ?

Jazak'ALLAH Khairan.

Regards,
RMKamran.

Sir, its grammatical portion is quite awkward, may be my mind was not accepting it.
You know I am never been satisfied without good explanation.
And I missed in it.
Where you were for couple of days.
I really really really missed you a lot.

I can understand it's a typing mistake Well, I got 26 in essay and 67 in precis in CE-2015. My level of English is fine. I seldom practice the grammatical stuff.

Then it's a matter of understanding, right Else, you referring to which blunders ?

Besides, if you have any other one, then kindly tell.

Jazak'ALLAH Khairan

Yes, its grammar portions seem awkward because they are short and need previous background.

Dear Ursula, I appreciate your English and your way of communication that you have been doing so far. One thing to say, PERFECTION can never be achieved, or if achieved it is subjective in nature so can not be determined whether it was achieved. I am not claiming to be one having a good command over English but I just want to highlight some points which I think you have used wrongly, whether it could be a typing mistake, in your comments.

Than I will recommend you.

I just read its one quarter of portion and than I decided to quit it

1. You have been using the word THAN to sense THEN, which I have realized, may be I am wrong. If so, please make me clear

2. You have used "guys.......deserves" I think it is also grammatically incorrect as well. "Guys" is a plural noun.

Just highlighting, therefore, Expecting positive response...

Its only because of some personal issues, and I will consider it.

Sir, thanks for your kind reply and hoping for your active participation at this forum.


@Rustamani
No one is perfect and neither I do intend for that nor I am suppose to be of such worth standing.
In case of any discrepency your criticism is appreciated and I am very thankful for this generous act.
I hope I will also learn from each of you.

@ Ursula

The GRE, SAT etc kind of books I have come across so far have no bearing on these grammatical intricacies. They focus more on making us better readers, besides providing an arsenal of vocabulary. Why? Because that is what is tested on GRE and SAT Verbal sections- how good readers we are. Yes, there is an analytical writing section in which a test taker has to write essay kind of thing. Nonetheless, no publisher I know of has given any tips as to improving one's writing. The focus is usually on how to undermine argument essays, how to analyse an essay, when to conclude, how to save time etc. Still, I would like you to tell us who that publisher is whose GMAT, SAT books you would like to suggest.

@ Topic

My opinion hardly counts but I would still maintain that if you have decent english, you better work on improving your expression rather than focusing on these technicalities. For that purpose, READ quality books and practice writing. It is only after reading that you realise which words are used colloquially, which words are archaic, which words should be avoided in order to prevent the expression from looking complex and repulsive, which words make your writing look banal etc etc.

There is a certain B.A book by some Zia (Sorry, I can't recall his full name). Read about correction of errors from there. That's probably all you need to know about minor technicalities.
