What types of questions can you expect in your English Language Comprehension paper? My analysis of past years' 'O' Level papers suggests that the questions can be generally categorised into seven types: 1. The Factual Question 2. ^The Inferential Question 3. The Use Your Own Words Question 4. The^Language^ Use QJestion) 5. Writing down/Quoting a Word/Phrase/Sentence/Expression 6. The Vocabulary Question 7. The Summary Question Sometimes, however, you may find that some questions straddle two categories. For example, you may find a question that can be categorised either as a Use Your Own Words Question or a Language Use Question. The first five types will be discussed in this chapter, while the Vocabulary Question and the Summary Question will be dealt with in Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 respectively. 1 The Factual Question The word factual' comes from the word TACT', and as the word suggests, this type of question requires you to retrieve facts given in the passage.
