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.
When two singular subjects are joined by 'and', is the verb singular or plural?
Plural, in most cases. Example: 'Ali and Sara are friends.' (Exception: when they refer to one thing/person.)
With 'either...or' / 'neither...nor', does the verb agree with which subject?
The verb agrees with the subject nearest to it. Example: 'Neither the boys nor the teacher was present.'
Do 'each', 'every', 'everyone', and 'somebody' take a singular or plural verb?
They take a singular verb. Example: 'Each of the students has a book.'
What verb form do uncountable nouns like 'news', 'information', and 'furniture' take?
They take a singular verb. Example: 'The news is good.'
What is a synonym?
A word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. Example: 'happy' and 'joyful'.
Give a synonym for each: 'brave', 'huge', 'begin'.
brave = courageous; huge = enormous/gigantic; begin = commence/start.
Give a synonym for each: 'honest', 'rich', 'clever'.
honest = truthful; rich = wealthy/affluent; clever = intelligent/smart.
What is an antonym?
A word that has the opposite meaning of another word. Example: 'hot' and 'cold'.
Give the antonym for each: 'ancient', 'victory', 'expand'.
ancient = modern; victory = defeat; expand = contract/shrink.
Give the antonym for each: 'generous', 'transparent', 'praise'.
generous = stingy/miserly; transparent = opaque; praise = blame/criticize.
What is 'One Word Substitution'?
Replacing a phrase or group of words with a single precise word. Example: 'a person who writes books' = author.
One word for: 'a person who cannot read or write'.
Illiterate.
One word for: 'a place where money is coined / where coins are made'.
Mint.
One word for: 'a government by the people'.
Democracy.
One word for: 'one who studies the stars and planets'.
Astronomer.
What is an idiom?
A phrase whose meaning cannot be understood from the literal meaning of its individual words. Example: 'to kick the bucket' means 'to die'.
What does the idiom 'to break the ice' mean?
To start a conversation or ease tension in a social situation; to make a beginning.
What does the idiom 'a black sheep' mean?
A person who is a disgrace to or different (in a bad way) from the rest of a family or group.
What does the idiom 'once in a blue moon' mean?
Very rarely; almost never.
What does the phrase 'to call off' mean?
To cancel something (an event, plan, or arrangement).
Which is correctly spelled: 'recieve' or 'receive'? State the rule.
'Receive' is correct. Rule: 'i' before 'e' except after 'c'.
Give the correct spelling: 'seperate' or 'separate'; 'definately' or 'definitely'.
Correct spellings: 'separate' and 'definitely'.
Correct the error: 'He do not knows the answer.'
'He does not know the answer.' ('does' for third person singular, and the main verb stays in base form after 'does not').
Correct the error: 'One of my friend are a doctor.'
'One of my friends is a doctor.' ('friends' is plural after 'one of', and the verb 'is' agrees with the singular subject 'one').
What this deck covers
The English deck follows the Police Constable Test English syllabus — 4 chapters and 18 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 70 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.
