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 dangling modifier?
A modifying phrase that does not clearly or logically refer to the word it is meant to modify (e.g., 'Walking home, the rain started').
What is faulty parallelism, with an example correction?
Joining items in a list that are not in the same grammatical form. Wrong: 'She likes reading and to write.' Right: 'She likes reading and writing.'
What is a comma splice and how is it corrected?
Two independent clauses joined only by a comma. Fix with a period, semicolon, or a comma plus a coordinating conjunction.

When is a colon (:) used?
To introduce a list, explanation, quotation, or example after a complete independent clause.
What is the use of an apostrophe?
To show possession (e.g., 'John's book') or to mark omitted letters in contractions (e.g., 'don't').
How do you punctuate a direct quotation?
Enclose the exact words in quotation marks, with a comma before the quote and the closing punctuation inside the quotation marks (e.g., He said, "I agree.").
Where is the Oxford (serial) comma used?
Before the final 'and'/'or' in a list of three or more items (e.g., 'red, white, and blue').
What is the difference between a synonym and an antonym?

What is an idiom? Give an example.
A fixed expression whose meaning is not literal, e.g., 'kick the bucket' meaning to die.
What does the legal phrase 'mutatis mutandis' mean?
'With the necessary changes having been made' — applying something with appropriate modifications.

In Urdu-to-English translation, what should you preserve besides the literal words?
The meaning, tone, register, and idiomatic sense — translating sense-for-sense, not merely word-for-word, in grammatically correct English.
When translating Urdu legal/formal text to English, what register should be used?
A formal register with correct legal/standard terminology, avoiding colloquial or literal renderings that distort meaning.
What is the correct way to translate Urdu idioms into English?
Render them by an equivalent English idiom or by their intended meaning, not by literal word-for-word translation.
What are the key qualities of an effective precis?
Clarity, conciseness, coherence, completeness of main ideas, objectivity, and a connected single-paragraph form with a suitable title.
What is the difference between summarizing and paraphrasing a passage?
Summarizing condenses only the main ideas in shorter form; paraphrasing restates the full content in different words at roughly the same length.
What this deck covers
The English deck follows the Civil Judge Examination English syllabus — 5 chapters and 14 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 10.2 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.
