2.      verb If there is then there is 1 conjungtion (remember! conjuntion it connects  between sentences and sentences)
3.       verb If no then there are 2 conjangtion, and so on
4.      Rule applies to this search is the verb tenses, both active and passive sentences

Some things you should consider:
1. Always remember that sentence (sentence) that consists of a subject and a predicate (verb)
    For example: _______ was backed up for miles on the freeway
a. Yesterday
b. In the morning
c. Traffic
d. Cars
The answer is Traffic. Because the sentence above is contained verb (was backed) and no conjungtion, so by the rules then we just need a subject. Answer (a) and (b) an adverb, whereas answer (d) is not in accordance with the sentence.

2. Careful with present participles (V-ing)
    Verb + ing verb will serve as if to be + V-ing
    Example: The man is talking to his friends (verb)
    The man talking to his friends has a bread (adjective), it is the verb has

3. Careful with the past participle (V3)
     V3 will function as if the verb to be + V3

    The television was purchased yesterday expensive (adjective), verbnya is was






Example question:
1. The ______ packages mailed at the post office will arrive Monday
a. have
b. were
c. Them
d. Just

The answer is (d) Just. Because if we trace the matter contained in the verb phrase (will arrive) and no conjungtion. So, we only need a complement. Answer (a) and (b) a verb, whereas answer (c) is subject. If the answer to (c) is inserted in the sentence, there will be double the subject and Them does not have a function in the sentence.

4. Beware Appositive (explaining the previous word)
     Appositif (App) has the following form:
     APP, ___________ (if any (,) in front of it before the comma is the App)
     ____, App, __________ (If it will be at the center flanked by two signs (,))
     ______________, App (If there are (,) behind the app is located after the sign (,))

Example question:
1. __________, George, is attending the lecture
a. Right now
b. Happily
c. Because of the time
d. My Friends

The answer is (d) my friends. Because the sentence has one verb (is attending) and no conjungtion, while George is Appositife. Thus, the sentence requires a subject line: My friends. To answer (a) a statement, (b) an Adverb, (c) a preposition.
