Reordering sentences in English grammar is an
important and scoring topic. It involves the logical
arrangement of some given words or sentences to
form a correct sentence or a paragraph. Different
types of questions based on sentence reordering
come in national level exams. When rearranging
sentences, a learner should be cautious because it
may appear difficult. To analyse a sentence, one
must be a competent observer because a well-
constructed sentence lends meaning to a story.
