12 scored QsGrammar Core
- Parts of SpeechNouns through interjections: identify each part of speech and the job it does in a sentence.
- Subject–Verb AgreementMake subjects and verbs match — including the tricky cases: intervening phrases, compound subjects, and indefinite pronouns.
- Pronouns & AntecedentsPronoun case, agreement with antecedents, and clearing up the ambiguity when nobody can tell who "she" is.
- Verb Tense & FormKeep time consistent: the simple, perfect, and progressive tenses, irregular verbs, and unnecessary tense shifts.
Sentences & Punctuation
- Sentence Structure: Clauses, Fragments & Run-onsBuild and repair sentences: independent vs. dependent clauses, the four sentence types, and fixing fragments, run-ons, and comma splices.
- Commas, Semicolons & ColonsThe punctuation the TEAS tests hardest: comma rules that follow a logic, and when a semicolon or colon is the right tool.
- Apostrophes, Quotation Marks & End PunctuationPossessives vs. contractions vs. plurals, punctuating dialogue and quotations, and choosing the right end mark.

Using Language & Vocabulary
10 scored QsWord Attack
- Word Parts: Roots, Prefixes & SuffixesDecode unfamiliar words from their parts — the same Greek and Latin pieces that will unlock medical terminology later.
- Vocabulary in ContextDetermine a word's meaning from how a sentence uses it — including second-meaning traps where the familiar definition is wrong.
- Commonly Confused WordsAffect/effect, their/there/they're, then/than — the homophone and near-twin pairs the TEAS pulls straight from real writing errors.
