What is the difference between 'affect' and 'effect'?
'Affect' is usually a verb meaning to influence (The rain affected the match); 'effect' is usually a noun meaning a result (The rain had an effect on the match).
What is the difference between 'their', 'there', and 'they're'?
'Their' shows possession (their car); 'there' refers to a place (over there); 'they're' is a contraction of 'they are'.
What is the difference between 'principal' and 'principle'?
'Principal' means the head of a school or the main/most important thing; 'principle' means a fundamental rule or belief.
What is the difference between 'stationary' and 'stationery'?
'Stationary' (with an 'a') means not moving; 'stationery' (with an 'e') means writing materials such as paper and pens.
What is the difference between 'accept' and 'except'?
'Accept' is a verb meaning to receive or agree to; 'except' is a preposition meaning excluding or apart from.
What is the common error in: 'He is senior than me'? Give the correction.
'Senior' takes the preposition 'to', not 'than'. Correct: 'He is senior to me.' (Same rule for junior, superior, inferior, prior.)
What is the error in 'One of my friend is a doctor'? Give the correction.
After 'one of', a plural noun is required. Correct: 'One of my friends is a doctor.' (The verb stays singular, agreeing with 'one'.)
Spot the error: 'I have visited Paris last year.' What is the correct sentence?
Present Perfect cannot be used with a finished past-time expression like 'last year'. Correct: 'I visited Paris last year' (Simple Past).
How would you improve the sentence 'The reason is because he was late'?
It is redundant — 'reason' and 'because' repeat the idea of cause. Improved: 'The reason is that he was late.'
What is an apostrophe used for, and how do you punctuate 'the books belonging to the students'?
An apostrophe shows possession or contraction. For a plural noun ending in -s, add only an apostrophe: 'the students' books.'
State the correct spelling rule for 'i before e', and give an exception.
'I before E except after C' (believe, receive). Common exceptions include 'weird', 'seize', 'their', and words where the sound is 'ay' (neighbour, weigh).
In a reading comprehension passage, what is the difference between the main idea and a supporting detail?
The main idea is the central point the whole passage conveys; a supporting detail is a specific fact, example, or reason that explains or backs up the main idea.
What this deck covers
The English deck follows the ASI Police Test English syllabus — 4 chapters and 15 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 12.5 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 84 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
