Study guide
This guide is to help you decide which units you need to study. The sentences in the guide are grouped together
(Present and past, Articles and nouns etc.) in the same way as the units in the Contents (pages iii–vi).
Each sentence can be completed using one or more of the alternatives (A, B, C etc.). There are between two and
five alternatives each time. IN SOME SENTENCES MORE THAN ONE ALTERNATIVE IS POSSIBLE.
If you don’t know or if you are not sure which alternatives are correct, then you probably need to study the
unit(s) in the list on the right. You will also find the correct sentence in this unit. (If two or three units are listed,
you will find the correct sentence in the first one.)
There is a key to this study guide on page 372.
