No reproduction without the permission of the author - Ann Harris DAVIDSON, B.Ed., M.P.H., [email protected] Though the new PSAT/SAT ?Writing & Language? tests have very different formats from the former PSAT/SAT ?Writing Skills? tests, the types of English grammar conventions that are tested remain essentially unchanged. The major difference is that the questions now relate to passages of writing, with editing required. That editing takes two basic forms: (a) corrections of grammar (testing ?standard English conventions?) and (b) editing to improve rhetorical presentation (the ?expression of ideas?). Grammar tested

Diction and Syntax Diction Definition Diction can be defined as style of speaking or writing, determined by the choice of words by a speaker or a writer. Diction, or choice of words, often separates good writing from bad writing. It depends on a number of factors. Firstly, the word has to be right and accurate. Secondly, words should be appropriate to the context in which they are used. Lastly, the choice of words should be such that the listener or reader understands easily. Proper diction, or proper choice of words, is important to get the message across. On the other hand, the wrong choice of words can easily divert listeners or readers, which results in misinterpretation of the message intended to be conveyed. Types of Diction
