These practice tests target abusage: the most common errors in English usage as defined by grammar -- the rules for forming correct sentences -- and by syntax -- the conventions for making sensible sentences. The exercises are intended to issue warnings of prose missteps, to aid in recognizing abusage and offer preventive practice, and to promote, with mastery of usage, a confident writer.
