  Mistakes with transitive verbs, like omitting the direct object (e.g., saying "She kicked" instead of "She kicked the ball"), can confuse readers. Regular TOEFL preparation online free exercises, such as sentence completion tasks, help you practice proper usage. I also recommend using an IELTS essay checker free tool to spot errors in verb-object agreement, which I review with my students to improve clarity.

  Confusing action verbs with linking verbs is common because both can appear similar in sentences. Linking verbs, such as "appear" or "feel," connect the subject to additional information rather than showing action. I help my students practice identifying linking verbs in context to improve grammar accuracy for TOEFL or everyday English.

  Sentence clarity issues in TOEFL Speaking often arise from incorrect verb usage or weak sentence connections. Linking verbs, like "appear" or "feel," are crucial for expressing states and descriptions clearly. I guide my students to practice these verbs in mock speaking tasks to improve fluency and coherence.
