@chris
@callisto
@ParthKohli

Answer 2

For the record, articles are "a," "an" and "the".

Answer 3

Wait, now I see "problems". I thought it was "problem".

Answer 4

What about these sentences?
a) You should consult dictionary for difficult words.
b) For difficult words you should consult dictionary

Answer 5

yep ... I corrected that, sorry! well does that make any difference?

Answer 6

Yes, it does :)

Answer 7

How? Why?

Answer 8

All of the following are correct:
1) You can face problems while reading.
2) You can face a problem while reading.
3) You can face the problem while reading.(If we have been talking about a specific problem)

Answer 9

While reading you can face problems.

Answer 10

But, "You can face problem while reading" is NOT correct. You should attach "a" or "the" before the word "problem".

Answer 11

"While reading you can face problems" is not correct either, since you have to put a comma after 'reading'.

Answer 12

:P sure?

Answer 13

For sure!

Answer 14

ok now what about next one?

Answer 15

a) You should consult dictionary for difficult words.
b) For difficult words you should consult dictionary

None of them, because we never write "dictionary" all alone!

The following is the correction of both sentences:

a) You should consult the dictionary for difficult words.
b) For difficult words, you should consult the dictionary.

Answer 16

Ok same thing comma?

Answer 17

'a'

Answer 18

a dictionary

Answer 19

No, I also put a "the" before "dictionary". :)

Answer 20

It doesn't matter a lot; use both interchangeably.

Answer 21

Actually, I learnt that you should always put "the" before dictionary.

Answer 22

OK but there were only 2 options

Answer 23

..... first one?

Answer 24

Yes.

Answer 25

Ok Thanks

Answer 26

Do remember that if they had put a comma, then I'd have opted for the second. :)

Answer 27

ok

Answer 28

For confirmation, in which topic did you get these questions from?

Answer 29

Section-C Grammar Practice paper term -1, Jumbled words

Answer 30

theses are all like confusing they are backward and front ward

Answer 31

The question has nothing to do with articles... it has to do with prepositional phrases. Do not start a sentence with "while" or "for"
