Jumbled Sentences
Introduction: Rearrangement of sentences or paragraph anagrams is the most commonly seen question in any language testing exam. It is interesting to know that this question does not examine any previously learnt concepts, neither is it based on any particular logic.
A group of words or a word making a complete sense is called a sentence. Every sentence may be divided into two parts: Subject and Predicate.
The Subject is a word, or a group of words that denotes the person or thing about whom or which something is said. It must be a noun or a noun-equivalent, and may consist of any number of words.
The Predicate is a word, or a group of words that denotes what is said about the subject. It must contain at least a finite verb, expressed or under stood. For example, I can play the game if you guide me. (I can play the game = Subject; if you guide me = Predicate)
That was the girl who said that she loves me. (That was the girl = Subject; who said that she loves me = Predicate)
