Final Level Review — Structural Mastery

  • Inversion does not change the object.
  • Conditional clauses are distractions.
  • Gerund & infinitive phrases can be full objects.
  • Object complements describe — not replace — the object.
  • Main clause > dependent clause.

If you can consistently score 8+ here, your structural recognition is strong enough for advanced academic English.
