24 sample cards from the English deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
What is a preposition?
A word placed before a noun or pronoun to show its relation (of place, time, or direction) to another word, e.g., in, on, at, under, between.
Which prepositions of time are used with: a specific time, days/dates, months/years?
AT for a specific time (at 5 o'clock), ON for days and dates (on Monday), IN for months and years (in June, in 2026).
Give the correct preposition: He is good ___ English; She is afraid ___ dogs; They arrived ___ Lahore.
at (good at), of (afraid of), in (arrived in a city).
What is a conjunction?
A word that joins words, phrases, or clauses, e.g., and, but, or, because, although.
Name the three types of conjunctions.
Coordinating (and, but, or), Subordinating (because, although, if, when), and Correlative (either...or, neither...nor, both...and).
What are the FANBOYS coordinating conjunctions?
For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.
Complete the correlative pair: 'neither ___', 'not only ___', 'both ___'.
neither...nor, not only...but also, both...and.
What is an article and how many are there?
An article is a word placed before a noun to show whether it is definite or indefinite. There are three: a, an (indefinite) and the (definite).
When do we use 'a' vs. 'an'?
Use 'a' before a consonant sound (a book, a university) and 'an' before a vowel sound (an apple, an hour).
When is the definite article 'the' used?
Before a specific or already-mentioned noun, unique things (the sun, the moon), rivers/seas/oceans, and superlatives (the best).
What does the Present Indefinite (Simple Present) tense express, and what is its structure?
It expresses habits, general truths, and routines. Structure: Subject + base verb (+ s/es for he/she/it), e.g., She writes a letter.
What is the structure of the Present Continuous tense?
Subject + is/am/are + verb-ing (e.g., She is writing a letter). It shows an action happening now.
What is the structure and use of the Present Perfect tense?
Subject + has/have + past participle (She has written a letter). It shows a completed action whose effect continues to the present.
What is the structure of the Present Perfect Continuous tense?
Subject + has/have + been + verb-ing (She has been writing). It shows an action that began in the past and is still continuing.
What is the structure of the Past Indefinite (Simple Past) tense?
Subject + past form of verb (V2), e.g., She wrote a letter. It shows a completed action in the past.
What is the structure of the Past Continuous tense?
Subject + was/were + verb-ing (e.g., She was writing). It shows an ongoing action in the past.
What is the structure of the Past Perfect tense?
Subject + had + past participle (She had written). It shows an action completed before another past action.
What is the structure of the Simple Future (Future Indefinite) tense?
Subject + will/shall + base verb (e.g., She will write a letter). It shows an action that will happen in the future.
What is the structure of the Future Perfect tense?
Subject + will/shall + have + past participle (She will have written). It shows an action that will be completed by a future time.
What is the basic rule of subject-verb agreement?
A singular subject takes a singular verb, and a plural subject takes a plural verb (e.g., He runs; They run).
In subject-verb agreement, which verb form is used with he/she/it in the simple present?
The verb takes -s or -es (e.g., He goes, She watches, It rains).
What verb agreement is used with 'either...or' / 'neither...nor'?
The verb agrees with the nearer subject (e.g., Neither the boys nor the teacher is present).
What is the Active and Passive Voice?
Active voice: the subject does the action (Ali wrote a letter). Passive voice: the subject receives the action (A letter was written by Ali).
How do you change Simple Present active into passive? Give the rule and an example.
Object + is/am/are + past participle (+ by + subject). Active: He cooks food. Passive: Food is cooked by him.
What this deck covers
The English deck follows the Cadet College Entry Test English syllabus — 6 chapters and 30 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 8.3 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 105 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.
