2. SYNONYMS

Tips for Answering Synonym Questions in Corporate Interviews:

1. Understand Word Meanings: Ensure you know the precise meaning of the word in the
question. Synonyms are often subtle in their differences, and a correct answer requires a
good understanding of the word's definition.
2. Context Matters: In some cases, words can have multiple meanings, and their synonyms
might change based on context. Be mindful of the sentence or scenario provided in the
interview.
3. Use Prefixes/Suffixes: Sometimes, the base word might be modified by prefixes or
suffixes that can change its meaning slightly. Synonyms often share similar roots but
differ in usage or nuance (e.g., increase and enhance).
4. Avoid Overthinking: Some synonym questions are straightforward, while others may
have options that seem similar. Stick to the closest synonym in meaning, and avoid
getting distracted by terms that might seem synonymous in a different context.
5. Practice Vocabulary: Regularly read books, articles, and reports to increase your
vocabulary. A broad vocabulary allows you to recognize subtle differences in word
meanings and use them effectively.

anti-, etc., to the base word (e.g., happy → unhappy, acceptable → unacceptable).
3. Practice Common Pairs: Memorize commonly tested word pairs. Frequently asked
antonyms tend to cover a broad range of topics, including behavior, qualities, and

3. Framing Questions

Tips for Framing Questions:

Use words like who, what, where, when, why, how to frame “WH” Questions.
 Wh-word + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb.
Examples: What did you eat for lunch? When will you complete the project?
What shall we do during evening hours? Where do you live?

 Use auxiliary verbs to frame yes / no type questions

auxiliary verb + subject + main verb.
Exmples: Do you want to read this book? Have you finished the task?
Will you attend the function tomorrow? Are you interested to participate?

4. Making Sentence
Start with a subject

 Every sentence needs a subject (the person, thing, or idea the sentence is about).
 Example: She (subject) is reading a book (predicate).

2. Use a clear verb (action or state of being)

 The verb shows the action or state of the subject.

 Example: He runs (action verb) / They are happy (state of being).

3. Keep the word order simple (Subject + Verb + Object)

 In simple sentences, follow the basic structure of subject + verb + object.

 Example: I (subject) eat (verb) an apple (object).

4. Use correct tenses

 Match the verb to the time you're referring to: past, present, or future.
 Example: She sings (present), He sang (past), They will sing (future).

5. Avoid sentence fragments

 A complete sentence needs both a subject and a verb and should express a complete thought.
 Incorrect: Running fast.
 Correct: He is running fast.

6. Use appropriate conjunctions for compound sentences

 Join two independent clauses with conjunctions like and, but, or, so, because.
 Example: I wanted to go swimming, but it started raining.

12
7. Be mindful of punctuation

 Use commas to separate ideas and clauses, and end sentences with a period, question mark, or
exclamation point.
 Example: She went to the store, and he stayed home.

8. Use adjectives and adverbs to add detail

 Adjectives modify nouns (person, place, thing).

Example: The red ball.
 Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Example: She sings beautifully.

9. Keep sentences concise and avoid redundancy

 Make sure each sentence has a clear purpose and is not overly complicated.
 Example: She quickly ran to the store is more concise than She ran to the store very quickly.

10. Use active voice

 In active voice, the subject performs the action. This is usually clearer and more direct.
 Active: The teacher explained the lesson.
 Passive: The lesson was explained by the teacher. (Passive voice can be useful but may sound less
direct.)

11. Maintain subject-verb agreement

 Make sure the subject and verb match in number (singular/plural).

 Example: She reads (singular) vs. They read (plural).

12. Check for pronoun agreement

 Pronouns should agree with their antecedents in number and gender.

 Example: John lost his keys. (John = singular, his = singular pronoun)

Start with a subject

 Every sentence needs a subject (the person, thing, or idea the sentence is about).
 Example: She (subject) is reading a book (predicate).

2. Use a clear verb (action or state of being)

 The verb shows the action or state of the subject.

 Example: He runs (action verb) / They are happy (state of being).

exclamation point.
 Example: She went to the store, and he stayed home.

8. Use adjectives and adverbs to add detail

Example: The red ball.
 Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Example: She sings beautifully.
