Hi all,
I know this might be a lil painful of you,but it would help me a gr8 deal.
I have penned down some points as and when i noticed them.
Can any1 pls sign off them to be right and if any are incorrect pls bring it to my notice.
• As much as is used for comparison purpose.
• ‘Attribute to’ is the correct idiom
• ‘Just because’ is not considered correct in GMAT
• 'As to how' is idiomatic.
• ‘estimated to be’ is idiomatic
• Use ‘native of’ for human beings only; for all others use ‘native to’; ‘native in’ is wrong; nativity is a universal factor; hence use present tense
• Not X but Y
• Model After... Idioms and comparison
• according to MGMAT, the GMAT ignores the difference between 'compare to' and 'compare with'.
• Prepositions must be followed by nouns.
• ‘So’ adjective ‘as to’ is the correct idiom and concise.
• The idiomatic form "distinguish between x and y " is an expression that the GMAT considers correct.
• The idiomatic form "distinguish x from y" is an expressions that the GMAT seems to avoid if possible. This expression is sometimes grammatically correct, but it may be wordy, controversial, or simply less preferred than the other form.
• The idiom is ‘this is not x but rather y
These are all related to idioms and it would be gr8 if any experts can chip in here..
