All 43 Grammar questions asked in PPSC exams between 2017 and 2025, grouped by subtopic, each with a worked solution. First 10 free.
Free to read, with the worked answer and the exam each one came from. The book prints this topic in the order the Commission favours, so these are the ones to know first.
Comprise already carries the sense of "consist of", so it takes its object directly: the whole comprises the parts. "Comprised of" is wrong, "consisted" needs "of" after it, and in (b) the parts are wrongly made to comprise the whole.
The main clause is in the past — "It was of utmost importance" — so the time clause must be past too: "after the felony was discovered". > "is discover" is not even a proper verb form > a present or future tense would clash with "was"
'Who is the man in the funny hat over there?' is a correctly formed direct question. An indirect question keeps statement order, so (b) should read 'Can you tell me what your name is?'. Option (c) needs a subject pronoun: 'My team and I drove through the desert.' In (d) a superlative takes 'the', and 'backside' is misused for 'at the back of'.
A sentence with 'only' is changed into the negative form with 'none but': 'None but a millionaire can afford such extravagance' keeps the sense that a millionaire alone can afford it. Options (a), (c) and (d) alter the meaning.
'Failed to notice' simply means 'did not notice'. So the equivalent sentence is 'He did not notice me when he came in.' The other options either reverse the meaning or scramble the time clause.
An exclamatory sentence starting with 'what a' turns assertive with 'there was a great..'. So 'O what a fall was there, my countrymen!' becomes 'There was a great fall, my countrymen.' Options (a) and (b) alter the meaning. Option (d) is still an exclamation.
The exclamation 'Shame on you to..' becomes an assertive sentence with 'It is shameful of you to..': 'It is shameful of you to use a poor cripple so.' Option (b) reverses the meaning. Option (c) is still an exclamation. Option (d) says nothing about shame.
The exclamation implies that a great deal could be achieved if men were wise. The assertive form supplies the understood subject: 'Great things might be done if men were wise.' Options (a) and (c) turn it into a wish about men's wisdom. Option (d) is still an exclamation.
To change a comparative sentence to the positive degree, use 'not.. as' and reverse the two terms. So 'He was greater than Aurangzeb' becomes 'Aurangzeb was not so great as he.' Options (a) and (c) change the meaning, saying Aurangzeb was not great at all. Option (b) reverses the comparison altogether.
'If only ...' shows a wish that is against the facts. As an assertive sentence it is rewritten with 'I wish'. So 'If only I knew more people!' → 'I wish I knew more people.' Options (a), (b) and (c) change 'more people' to 'all people' or 'everyone'. That alters the meaning.

See the printed book →The Commission set 43 Grammar questions across 12 papers between 2017–2025. That is the whole set, not a sample — every one of them is in the book, and the 10 most-asked are on this page free.
Not in this set — each of these 43 was set once in the years covered. Questions elsewhere in the book do repeat, and carry a badge saying how often.
Here. Every question on this page is a solved MCQ: the four options as printed, the correct answer, and a worked explanation in plain English — not just a letter. The rest of the 43 are in the book, in the same form.
Switch to Attempt mode at the top of the questions. You get one question at a time and it is marked the moment you pick an option, with the reason underneath — the same way the exam feels, on your phone.
The questions are on screen rather than in a downloadable file, so they stay current and correct. The printed book has all 43 of these plus the rest of the English section, and every buyer gets the whole thing online as well.
The exams behind these questions, most first. A paper here is a sitting: a question set in two papers of the same sitting counts once.
