Tips to Score Full Marks in Pair of Words
- Always write two separate, short sentences — one for each word — and underline the pair word in the exam.
- Keep sentences 6–10 words — long sentences increase grammar mistakes. All 78 above follow this rule.
- Learn the Urdu hint in brackets first, then make the sentence — it helps you avoid confusion between affect/effect or principal/principle.
- Practice 10 pairs daily with writing — don’t just read. Writing fixes spelling.
How to Memorize 78 Pairs Quickly
- Divide 78 into 8 days: 10 pairs per day (last day 8).
- Read, cover, write — check spelling each time.
- Re-attempt all 78 after 4 days — spaced revision is best for Punjab Boards exams.
