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.
In indirect speech, how do 'now', 'today', and 'tomorrow' change?
'now' becomes 'then', 'today' becomes 'that day', and 'tomorrow' becomes 'the next day'/'the following day'.
How is an interrogative (question) sentence reported in indirect speech?
Use 'asked' (or inquired), remove the question mark, change to statement word order, and use 'if/whether' for yes-no questions or the question word for wh-questions. Example: He asked if I was ready.
How is an imperative (command/request) sentence reported in indirect speech?
Use a reporting verb like told, ordered, requested, or advised + object + to-infinitive. Example: He said, 'Open the door' becomes He told me to open the door.
In indirect speech, how do 'can', 'may', and 'will' change?
'can' becomes 'could', 'may' becomes 'might', and 'will' becomes 'would'.

What this deck covers
The English deck follows the Navy Sailor Test English syllabus — 4 chapters and 16 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 59 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.
