In this session, we'll be covering all rules of the digital SAT grammar. After explaining all the rules you need to know I am going to provide some official practice questions and let you know that you can answer them if you want to. Don't worry if you get the answer wrong—this is a learning opportunity, and we're here to explore these topics together. As I go through explaining the rules I also want you to know that you can interrupt any time asking me questions. Feel free to do so.
