नमस्ते मेरे प्यारे Super TET aspirants! Unictest पर आपका स्वागत है। आज हम बात करेंगे Super TET English Grammar के एक बहुत ही Scoring और Challenging Section की - 'Error Detection'. यह वो हिस्सा है जहाँ कई बार स्टूडेंट्स कंफ्यूज हो जाते हैं, लेकिन अगर आप सही अप्रोच और प्रैक्टिस के साथ तैयारी करें, तो आप इसमें पूरे मार्क्स हासिल कर सकते हैं। 2026 के Super TET एग्जाम के लिए यह सेक्शन आपकी सफलता की कुंजी बन सकता है।
देखिये, Super TET में English Grammar का एक significant weightage होता है, और Error Detection questions इसी का एक अहम हिस्सा हैं। इन सवालों में आपको एक sentence दिया जाता है जिसे कुछ parts में divide किया होता है, और आपको उस part को पहचानना होता है जिसमें grammatical error है। अगर कोई error नहीं है, तो आपका उत्तर 'No Error' होता है। मेरा personal experience रहा है कि जब मैं अपने स्टूडेंट्स को यह टॉपिक पढ़ाता हूँ, तो सबसे पहले मैं उन्हें ग्रामर के basic rules पर कमांड बनाने को कहता हूँ। बिना strong foundation के, error detect करना मुश्किल हो जाता है।
Super TET English Error Detection क्यों महत्वपूर्ण है?
- High Scoring Potential: एक बार जब आप नियमों को समझ जाते हैं, तो ये प्रश्न बहुत तेजी से हल हो जाते हैं और पूरे अंक दिलाते हैं।
- Foundation for Other Sections: Error Detection की अच्छी समझ आपको Sentence Improvement, Fill in the Blanks और Cloze Test जैसे अन्य English sections में भी मदद करती है।
- Logical Reasoning: यह आपकी analytical skills को बढ़ाता है, क्योंकि आपको sentence के structure और grammar को logically analyze करना होता है।
Expert Tip: बहुत से स्टूडेंट्स सिर्फ रूल्स रटते हैं, जबकि असली खेल एप्लीकेशन का है। आपको रूल्स को sentences में apply करना सीखना होगा। इसके लिए खूब प्रैक्टिस करनी होगी।
Common Types of Errors (सामान्य गलतियाँ)
Super TET में Error Detection के प्रश्न मुख्य रूप से इन grammatical areas से आते हैं:
- Subject-Verb Agreement: सबसे आम गलती! Subject Singular है तो Verb Singular होगी, Plural है तो Plural।
- Tenses: Past, Present, Future - सही Tense का उपयोग न करना।
- Prepositions: 'in', 'on', 'at', 'for', 'with' जैसे शब्दों का गलत इस्तेमाल।
- Articles: 'a', 'an', 'the' का गलत या अनावश्यक उपयोग।
- Pronouns: 'he', 'him', 'his', 'she', 'her', 'it', 'they' आदि का गलत case या number।
- Adjectives & Adverbs: इनकी डिग्री (comparative, superlative) या प्लेसमेंट में गलती।
- Conjunctions: 'and', 'but', 'or', 'neither...nor', 'either...or' का गलत प्रयोग।
- Parallelism: Lists या series में समान grammatical structure न होना।
- Redundancy & Superfluous Words: ऐसे शब्दों का प्रयोग जिनकी आवश्यकता नहीं है (जैसे 'return back')।
मैंने देखा है कि पिछले 5 सालों में Super TET के English सेक्शन में Subject-Verb Agreement और Tenses से कम से कम 3-4 प्रश्न हर बार पूछे गए हैं। इसलिए इन टॉपिक्स पर आपकी कमांड बहुत मजबूत होनी चाहिए।
Error Detection Practice Questions - Part 1
चलिए, अब कुछ सवालों को हल करके देखते हैं ताकि आपको कॉन्फिडेंस आए। हर सवाल के बाद उसका सही जवाब और detailed explanation भी दिया गया है।
Q. 1) He is (A)/ one of the best students (B)/ that has ever passed (C)/ this examination. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) He is
- B) one of the best students
- C) that has ever passed
- D) this examination.
- E) No Error
Answer: C) 'that has ever passed' should be 'that have ever passed'. When 'one of the' is followed by a plural noun, the relative pronoun (that, who, which) refers to the plural noun, so the verb should be plural.
Q. 2) Neither of the two brothers (A)/ are good (B)/ at their studies (C)/ and sports. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) Neither of the two brothers
- B) are good
- C) at their studies
- D) and sports.
- E) No Error
Answer: B) 'are good' should be 'is good'. 'Neither of' always takes a singular verb.
Q. 3) The reason for (A)/ his failure is (B)/ because he did not (C)/ work hard. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) The reason for
- B) his failure is
- C) because he did not
- D) work hard.
- E) No Error
Answer: C) 'because he did not' should be 'that he did not'. 'The reason is' is followed by 'that', not 'because'.
Q. 4) Scarcely had I arrived (A)/ than the train left (B)/ the station, (C)/ leaving me behind. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) Scarcely had I arrived
- B) than the train left
- C) the station,
- D) leaving me behind.
- E) No Error
Answer: B) 'than the train left' should be 'when the train left'. 'Scarcely/Hardly' is always followed by 'when' or 'before', not 'than'.
Q. 5) He asked me (A)/ that why I was (B)/ late for (C)/ the meeting. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) He asked me
- B) that why I was
- C) late for
- D) the meeting.
- E) No Error
Answer: B) 'that why I was' should be 'why I was'. 'That' is not used after 'asked' when a 'wh-word' (why, what, where) is present in an indirect question.
Q. 6) The teacher as well as (A)/ his students have gone (B)/ for a picnic (C)/ to the park. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) The teacher as well as
- B) his students have gone
- C) for a picnic
- D) to the park.
- E) No Error
Answer: B) 'have gone' should be 'has gone'. When two subjects are joined by 'as well as', 'with', 'along with', 'together with', 'and not', 'in addition to', 'but', 'besides', 'except', 'rather than', 'no less than', 'nothing but', the verb agrees with the first subject.
Q. 7) It is high time (A)/ you start (B)/ working seriously (C)/ for your exam. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) It is high time
- B) you start
- C) working seriously
- D) for your exam.
- E) No Error
Answer: B) 'you start' should be 'you started'. After 'It is high time', 'It is time', 'It is about time', we use the simple past tense.
Q. 8) The number of (A)/ students appearing for (B)/ the exam are increasing (C)/ year after year. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) The number of
- B) students appearing for
- C) the exam are increasing
- D) year after year.
- E) No Error
Answer: C) 'the exam are increasing' should be 'the exam is increasing'. 'The number of' always takes a singular verb.
Q. 9) He is one of the honest (A)/ and hard-working employees (B)/ in our organization (C)/ and he is respected. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) He is one of the honest
- B) and hard-working employees
- C) in our organization
- D) and he is respected.
- E) No Error
Answer: A) 'He is one of the honest' should be 'He is one of the most honest'. When comparing more than two, the superlative degree 'most' is used. Also, an article 'the' is missing before 'most'.
Q. 10) Unless you will work hard, (A)/ you cannot (B)/ succeed (C)/ in any exam. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) Unless you will work hard,
- B) you cannot
- C) succeed
- D) in any exam.
- E) No Error
Answer: A) 'Unless you will work hard,' should be 'Unless you work hard,'. Conditional clauses starting with 'if', 'unless', 'as soon as', 'when', 'until', etc., do not use 'will' or 'shall' in the subordinate clause.
Q. 11) The captain along with (A)/ his team members (B)/ were present (C)/ at the parade. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) The captain along with
- B) his team members
- C) were present
- D) at the parade.
- E) No Error
Answer: C) 'were present' should be 'was present'. When two subjects are joined by 'along with', the verb agrees with the first subject, which is 'captain' (singular).
Q. 12) She is senior (A)/ than me (B)/ in age (C)/ and experience. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) She is senior
- B) than me
- C) in age
- D) and experience.
- E) No Error
Answer: B) 'than me' should be 'to me'. Adjectives like 'senior', 'junior', 'superior', 'inferior', 'prior', 'anterior', 'posterior', 'prefer' are followed by 'to', not 'than'.
Q. 13) If I was a bird, (A)/ I would fly (B)/ across (C)/ the sea. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) If I was a bird,
- B) I would fly
- C) across
- D) the sea.
- E) No Error
Answer: A) 'If I was a bird,' should be 'If I were a bird,'. In hypothetical or imaginary situations (unreal past), 'were' is used with all subjects, regardless of number or person.
Q. 14) Many a man (A)/ have been tempted (B)/ by wealth (C)/ and power. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) Many a man
- B) have been tempted
- C) by wealth
- D) and power.
- E) No Error
Answer: B) 'have been tempted' should be 'has been tempted'. 'Many a' is always followed by a singular noun and takes a singular verb.
Q. 15) It is him (A)/ who is responsible (B)/ for the entire (C)/ mess. (D)/ No Error (E)
- A) It is him
- B) who is responsible
- C) for the entire
- D) mess.
- E) No Error
Answer: A) 'It is him' should be 'It is he'. After the verb 'to be' (is, am, are, was, were), a pronoun should be in the nominative case (subjective case).
