Build the idea

Build exam-ready understanding by connecting the core idea, formulas or facts, worked example and previous NDA questions. Focus on why each rule works, then test it under timed conditions.

Concept

Jumbled parts/words of a sentence are given and you arrange them into a grammatically correct, meaningful sentence.

Find the subject and verb first, then attach phrases of place, time and manner.

Key Points & Formulas

  • Usual order: Subject + Verb + Object + place + time.
  • Look for the natural opening word (capital/article) and the ending.
  • Keep prepositional phrases together as units.
  • Test the final order by reading it aloud.

Worked Example

Q. Arrange: (P) every evening (Q) in the park (R) the children (S) play

Subject (R) + verb (S) + place (Q) + time (P).

'The children play in the park every evening.' Order: R S Q P.

Common traps

  • Reading the prompt too quickly and missing a qualifier.
  • Memorising the result without checking when it applies.
  • Skipping units, signs, chronology or the final reasonableness check.

NDA shortcuts

  • State the governing rule before substituting values.
  • Eliminate impossible options before doing full calculation.
