Grammar Tips for IELTS Preparation
***** GRAMMAR TIPS *****
In both the IELTS Speaking and the IELTS Writing test, grammar is part of the marking criteria. Poor grammar means only one thing – a lower score. Ironically, making mistakes with more complex structures won’t harm you as much as making errors with more simple grammar structures.
Present Simple and Past Simple are often not so “simple” in languages other than English, and often “L1 Interference” takes place. That’s when you speak English, but using the grammar of your native language.
For example, in many languages verbs don’t change to indicate time – sentences simply end “today”, “yesterday” or “tomorrow”. Many IELTS candidates who speak such languages automatically do this in English. So, “I went to the market” becomes “I go to the market yesterday”.

Picture Questions
PICTURE QUESTIONS
When candidates see questions as pictures and not words, they often ‘go blank’ and don’t think logically about what they can see in the pictures.
This is simply because they are not expecting this kind of question and it is very easy to overcome.
Picture questions are often in section 1 of the listening test in the form of multiple-choice questions. Normally, you will see four pictures that have something in common and there will be a written question above the pictures. You have to listen to a conversation between (usually) two people and decide which picture answers to written question.

Understanding IELTS Passage
what the IELTS passage is about?
You need not to read the entire passage to answer the IELTS questions. Let us see if not by entirely reading it, how can we do it.
Understanding IELTS Passage
Reading passages are not only text, they also have other things included.
These things can be:
- Titles
- Paragraph headings
- Sub-headings
- Italicized or bold type
- Pictures
- Diagrams & other visual information
- Tables & charts
We can use these things to help you to intelligently guess or “predict” what the passages are going to be about and what kind of information you might expect to find in them. You can do this even if you don’t really know anything about the topic because you will always find that you have some ideas about the topic and, even if those ideas may not be correct, they will help a lot in predicting.
