Since I never really received any formal education on grammar, I answered questions on GMAT without knowing what is a preposition phrase or noun clause. However, I have a very good sense of what a good English sentence should sound like. Again, the sense of correctness instead of the application of a set of rules helped me to get through the first 15 questions with ease. (Out of my first 15 verbal, 8 is sentence correction).
I tried to read and understand the sentence correction book by Liu Zhen Ming, but I was shocked to discover that on the first exercise section, he provided the wrong answer to a question also on OG. I instead thoroughly studied the SC questions on OG.
