Quick answer: To improve at PU Law entrance English grammar, practise one rule at a time and then solve timed mixed sets. For every sentence, check the subject–verb agreement, tense, pronoun, preposition and word order in that sequence. Keep an error log of the rule behind each mistake and revise it weekly. Confirm the current paper pattern in the official Panjab University prospectus.

Start with the official pattern

Download the current prospectus from the Panjab University website and note how English is tested in the paper you are taking — the 5-year integrated course or the 3-year LL.B. Do not plan around question counts copied from an old paper or a coaching handout.

A five-check method for every sentence

Read the complete sentence once before looking for the error. Then check:

Check What to ask
Subject–verb Does the verb agree with the real subject, not the nearest noun?
Tense Do the time words and the sequence of actions match the verb forms?
Pronoun Is it clear who the pronoun refers to, and is its case correct?
Preposition Is the preposition the one that normally follows this word?
Word order and modifiers Is each describing word placed next to what it describes?

If none of the five checks finds a problem, consider "no error" — but only after you have completed every check.

Worked example

"The list of selected students have been displayed on the notice board."

The subject is list, not students. A singular subject takes a singular verb, so the correct form is has been displayed. The mistake comes from matching the verb to the nearest noun — record "subject–verb: ignore the phrase after of" in your error log.

Build an error log that actually helps

After every practice set, write down three things for each wrong answer: the sentence, the rule you missed and a fresh example sentence of your own. At the end of the week, count which rules appear most often and practise those first.

A simple weekly routine

  1. Days 1–4: one rule per day — read the rule, then solve 10–15 fresh questions on it.
  2. Day 5: a timed mixed set covering all four rules.
  3. Day 6: grammar questions from PU previous year papers.
  4. Day 7: review the error log and redo every question you got wrong.

Grammar practice works best alongside reading. See PU Law entrance English comprehension practice for passage work.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Picking an option because it "sounds right" without checking the rule.
  • Memorising long rule lists without timed practice.
  • Skipping the review of wrong answers after a mock test.
  • Spending too long on one sentence instead of marking it and returning.
