In summary completion of the reading section questions there’s a tip that says identify the type of word needed for each gap (noun/ adjective/ verb etc). I stuggle with this concept, where sits what. I don’t understand if I have to put a noun or a verb or a adjective in the gap. Please explain it to me.
For example:
“the man ……….. to the town”
As you see, there is a noun (subject) given first and then a gap, followed by the object. According to the rule of English grammar, the missing word would be a verb. It is also possible it is a verb with an adverb as well. Such as “walked” or “walked quickly”.
Another example:
People gathered in the ……….. to watch the events.
According to the rule of English grammar, we have a noun (subject) first, then the verb and then the word “the” (which we know comes before a noun) and a gap. So, the missing word must be a noun and it is the object of the sentence. Such as “square” or “town square” or “large town square”. As you see, the answer could have a single noun, a compound noun (a noun made of two words) or an adjective with a noun.
This is why one of my tips for the listening and reading test is …. grammar will help you. This tip applies to questions where there is a sentence with a gap because the word in the gap must make the sentence grammatically correct.
