Structure and write expression is the part of TOEFL test. This section is usually raised in session 2of  TOEFL test and related to grammar skills.
This section usually divided into 2 types of matter.
The first one sentence Completion. In this sectionthere are 15 matter of choosing the correct answer. and the second one isError Identification/Written Expressions which contain 25 matter of identifying the grammatical mistakes of sentence.
ü  Type A: Sentence Completion
In this section there are 15 questions, each consisting of a sentences with the words and / or phrases omitted. Our objective is to choose one of the options (a), (b), (c) or (d) that if we added the word on it, the sentence will true grammatically.
So in other words, we have to choose WHICH IS TRUE.

ü  Type B: Error Identification/Written Expressions
In this section there are 25 questions, each consisting of a sentences with the words and / or phrases omitted. Our objective is to choose one of the options (a), (b), (c) or (d) that if we added the word on it , the sentence will wrong grammatically.
So in other words, we have to choose WHICH IS WRONG.
And be careful, Do not make mistakes on this two-part work. Just read and  understand instructions, so that when the real test is happen, we won’t  need to read instruction. Just immediately start working on “number 1” question.
in the structure test, there are 7 things tested. There are Noun Clauses, Parallel Structure, frase, choosing Adjective or Adverb, participle, Sentence Connector , and Adverb connector.

1.      Noun Clauses
This type of clause is usually preceded by the words: If, What, Where, That ... for easy, when faced with this kind of problem, Just translate it.
Ø  Example 1:
Translation :
Kita tidak tahu jika Pak Guru telah menerangkan tentang Clauses sebelumnya.
Question :
We don't know __________ taught us noun clauses before.
A. If the teacher has
B. The teacher has
C. The teacher hasn't
D. Whether teacher
The Answer is : A
Because, A answer is explain the meaning of “jika” in the sentence correctly.
In the other words, this section will tested us in specifying which sentence is wrong and correct .and we must understand the meaning of each sentence (translate it).
Ø  Example 2:
1.      I did not believe the story that he told me. (Correct)
2.      The lecture notes which lent me were not clearly written.(Incorrect)
The number 2 answer is “incorrect” because when we translate it into bahasa, you will realize that the sentence is wrong.
Ø  Example 3:
Can you please tell me ________ ?
A. What time the next bus arrives
B. What time arrives the next bus
C. When arrives the next bus
D. When arrives the bus
The answer is : A

2.      Parallel Structure
Complex structures and compound arefollowingPARALLEL principle. This is the equality between the words with other words that connected by. For  Example, HEATED words separated by a comma (,) then the verb who followed him also shaped the ED, like COOLED, and STORED .
Likewise, if the parallel written in noun, then that should be mandatory parallel written in nouns as well.

Ø  Example 1:
Dresses, skirts, shoes, and children’s clothing are advertised at great reduced prices
                                                        A                         B         C     D
this weekend.
The answer is : A. because the other choices is predikat. And A answer is noun.
Ø  Example 2:
1. The pastries in that shop are very expensive but quite deliciously. (Incorrect)
2. The living room was decorated with expensive paintings and elegance lamps.
(correct).

3.      Frase
Do not be fooled by PREPOSITION PHRASE (as SUBJECTS, for example).
 Example : In the morning …
Because its obviously not a subject, but “kata keterangan”.
Ø  Example 1:
______was ringing continuously for hours.
A. Loudly
A. In the morning
B. The phone
C. The bells
The answer is :  B. because the other answer obviously is not a subject.

4.      “Adjective or Adverb”
in this section, we should be able to determine whether the correct answer of the question that there was to be filled by an adverb or adjective
Ø  Example 1:
Ms. Franklin directed a very ____ project.
A. successfully
B. success
C. successive
D. successful
the answer is : D. because this sentence is trying to explain the adjective of a subject, the subject is this question is "project".

5.      Participle (Not Functioned as Verb/Predikat)
example: gone (past participle); going (present participle)
Ø  Example 1:
1. The crying baby needs to be picked up. (C)
ADJ.
2. The clothes are lying the floor should go into the washing machine. (I)
VERB.
6.      Sentence Connector
In this section, we will be tested to determine the exact conjunction of a sentence. To get the real meaning of the sentence.
Ø  Example 1:
I forgot my coat, ____ I got very cold.
A. Then
B. So
C. later
D. as a result
the answer is : D. because this sentence is trying to explain a causal relationship of  an event. In the sentence, the writer is trying to tell wether he got very cold because he forgot to bring his coat.
Ø  Example 2:
1. The lawn needs water every day, or it will turn brown. (Correct)
2. The book was not long, it difficult to read. (Incorrect)

7.      Adverb connector (after, until, although, even though, since, dll.)
In this section, we will be tested to determine the exact adverb conjunction of a sentence. To get the real meaning of the sentence.
Ø  Example 1:
_____ arrived at the library, he started to work immediately.
A. The student
B. When
C. He
D. After the student
The answer is : D. because this sentence is trying to tell about “he” that described “started to work immediately”.
Ø  Example 2:
1. After the plane circled the airport, it landed on the main runway. (Correct)
2. If you plan carefully before you take a trip, will have a much better time because
the small details will not cause problems. (Incorect)

B. Additional tips worked Structure and Written Expressions
-          Fast but still carefully.
-          Be careful of “traps” on Structure and Written Expressions section.
-          In structure test, the question is always in the form of sentence (Subject + Verb). So we must be able to show the Subject and predicate (verb) in a sentence.
-          Start to think logicly. Sentences should be complete (at least SUBJECTS + P). In the question, the Sentences  already got (eg SUBJECTS), So we must searching for (predicate), or vice versa .
-          So, find the verb (the verb) is to be found in the entire sentence that is in question.
-          Rules of VERB searching :
a.       If there is one verb then there is no conjunction (conjunctive).
b.      If there are 2 verb then there is one conjunction (conjunction: linking between sentences  and sentences), and so on.
-          Remember, A sentence is consists of a subject and a predicate ( verb )

Ø  example :
This sentence needs Predicate or Subject ? Which do you choose an answer
correct ?
__________ , George , is attending the lecture
A. Right now
B.Happily
C. Because of the time
D. My Friends
