CSS 2022 Solved Sentence Corrections
Sentence Correction – 1:
I must walk two miles to school every morning when I was a child.
Correction:
The sentence shows a compulsion for the subject in the past. And we know that we use “Had To” to show past compulsion, not the modal verb “Must“. So, to correct the sentence, we have to replace “Must” with “Had To“.
Moreover, we can correct this sentence by using the expression “Used To“. We use the expression “Used To” when we want to talk about our PAST “Habits” or “Repeated” actions, which we don’t do in the present.
Thus, the correct answer is the following:
I had to walk two miles to school every morning when I was a child.
I used to walk two miles to school every morning when I was a child.
Sentence Correction – 2:
After the storm, we had got to pick up some fallen branches.
Correction:
The expressions “Have To” and “Have Got To” have the same meaning. Both are used in compulsive sentences. However, we do not use “Have Got To / Had Got To” with the past or future tenses. Whenever we want to talk about past compulsion, we use the expression “Had To”, not “Had Got To”. So, to correct the given sentence, we have to use the expression “Had To”
Thus, the correct answer is the following:
After the storm, we had to pick up some fallen branches.
Sentence Correction – 3:
Guitar is most popular instrument among teen age boys, but not girls.
Correction:
The sentence has three errors. The sentence lacks an article before the subject, a preposition in the “but phrase”, and the word “The” before the superlative “Most”.
We know that no singular countable noun can come without an article in a sentence. The subject “Guitar” is a countable singular noun in the given sentence. So, we have to place the article “A” before it.
Next, we know a superlative adjective always takes the article “The” before it. So, we have to place the before the adjective “Most”.
Lastly, we must place a preposition after the word “But”. If we do not add, the sense of the sentence remains ambiguous.
Thus, the correct answer is anyone of the following:
A guitar is the most popular instrument among teenage boys, but not among girls.
Sentence Correction – 4:
You are not well and I wish you feel better soon.
Correction:
In this sentence, two independent clauses are connected with the coordinating conjunction “And“. However, we know that we have to place a comma before coordinating conjunctions whenever they join two independent clauses. So, have to place a comma before the conjunction “And“.
Next, there is a difference between the verbs “Hope” and “Wish”. We use the verb “Hope” when we want things to happen that are likely possible. However, we use the verb “Wish” when we want things to happen that we do not make possible. So, we have to place the verb “Wish”.
Thus, the correction is the following:
You are not well, and I hope you feel better soon.
You are not well, and I hope you will feel better soon.
Sentence Correction – 5:
The grass not looking green now because it is not raining since last month.
Correction
In this sentence, there are verb issues in both clauses. To correct the sentence, we have to place “Is” before “Not Looking” to make sense. And in the second clause, we have to put “Has Not Rained” instead of “Is Not Raining“. We know that we always use perfect or perfect continuous tenses with time phrases.
Thus, the correction is,
The grass is not looking green now because it has not rained since last month.
Sentence Correction – 6:
The cold air made me shiver a little when I was waiting for him.
Correction
It is always confusing for non-natives to know in which conditions or situations they should use the subordinating conjunction “While” or in what situation they should go for the subordinating conjunction “When”. Let me explain it to you; we use “While” in a clause with a continuous action: using a verb in a continuous tense. However, we use “When” in a clause with a single action: using a simple or indefinite present or past tense. So, to correct the given sentence, we have to replace “When“ with “While”.
Thus, the correct answer is any of the following:
The cold air made me shiver a little while I was waiting for him.
Sentence Correction – 7:
I offered my seat to an older woman who just smiled me.
Correction(s)
I offered my seat to an old woman who smiled at me.
I just offered my seat to an old woman who smiled at me.
I offered my seat to just an old woman who smiled at me.
Sentence Correction – 8:
She packed her bags, carried downstairs and put the back seat of her car.
Correction
In this sentence, there are a number of mistakes. First, the sentence lacks the pronouns “Them” before the word “Downstairs” and “Them” after the verb “Put“. Second, another error is a preposition error. If we place or put something in a car’s seat, we always say, “In The Car’s Seat / In The Seat Of The Car“. So, we must put the preposition “In” before the noun phrase “The Back Seat Of Her Car“.
Thus, the correct answer is any of the following:
She packed her bags, carried them downstairs, and put them in the back seat of her car.

CSS 2022 Solved Paragraph
Urdu Paragraph
ہر دور اپنے ساتھ بہت سے ایسے معاملات بھی لے کر آتا ہے جو کسی کی پسند کے نہیں ہوتے مگر انہیں قبول کرنا ہی پڑتا ہے۔ بعض اوقات ایسا بھی ہوتا ہے کہ قدرت شاید ہمیں آزمانے کی خاطر ایسا بہت کچھ ہمارے سامنے رکھتی ہے جو ہمارے مطلب کا نہیں ہوتا بلکہ اس سے ہمارا کوئی تعلق ہی نہیں ہوتا مگر پھر بھی اسے زندگی کا حصہ بناتے ہوئے چلنا پڑتا ہے۔ آج بھی ایسا ہی چل رہا ہے۔ ہر صدی اپنے ساتھ ایسی تبدیلیاں لاتی رہی ہے جو گزشتہ صدیوں کے مقابلے میں بالکل نئی تھیں۔ فطری علوم و فنون کی ترقی نے انسان کو ایسا بہت کچھ دیا ہے جسے علمی و معاشی عمل کا کچرا قرار دیا جا سکتا ہے۔ قدرت ہمیں پھل دیتی ہے تو ساتھ ہی ساتھ اس بات کا پابند کرتی ہے کہ اس کے چھلکوں کو ڈھنگ سے ٹھکانے لگائیں۔ اگر ایسا نہ کیا جائے تو ملک کی غلاظت بڑھتی ہے۔
Translation by Sir Syed Kazim Ali
Each era brings many issues that no one likes but has to accept. Sometimes, nature tests us by getting something in front of us that we really do not like or have nothing to do with us. Still, we have to make it a part of our lives. Similarly, each century has brought with it such changes that have no parallel compared to the previous centuries. The development of natural sciences and arts has given man a lot, which can be termed a waste of scientific and economic processes. For instance, nature gives us fruit and, at the same time, binds us to dispose of its peels properly. If not done correctly, the environment undoubtedly gets polluted.
