TOEFL iBT Practice (Grammar & Vocabulary) — Study Guide
Free, topic-by-topic study notes for the TOEFL iBT Practice (Grammar & Vocabulary) exam. Read a chapter, then practice it.
Grammar & Sentence Structure
This chapter covers the sentence-level grammar that strong academic English depends on: subject-verb agreement, relative clauses, conditionals, verb patterns, and parallel structure. Note that this practice set focuses on English language usage and does not reproduce the TOEFL iBT's Listening, Speaking, or Writing tasks.
Vocabulary in Context
TOEFL-style vocabulary items reward knowing precise meanings and using context clues. This chapter focuses on choosing the word whose meaning fits the sentence, using signal words like 'despite' or 'so...that' to guide you.
Word Forms & Collocations
This chapter targets two closely linked skills: choosing the correct part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb) and knowing which words naturally go together. Both are essential for accurate, natural academic English.
Connectors & Cohesion
Cohesive academic writing links ideas with the right connectors. This chapter covers transition words that show contrast, cause and effect, and addition, and the grammar that governs how each is used.
Common Usage Errors
This chapter targets the small but high-frequency usage points that separate accurate English from near-misses: prepositions of time, countable vs. uncountable quantifiers, and gerunds after prepositions.
