SOME IMPORTANT TIPS TO ARRANGE JUMBLED SENTENCES: In simple or most of sentence have structure like this,

Subject + verb +object. Subject + verb + not + object. Verb + subject + object ? Verb + subject + not + object?

Let us come to the trick:- KnowledgePhilic.com 1). If a sentence starts with a ‘name’ of a person, company...., then that sentence will definitely be the 1stsentence in the paragraph to be formed. 2). If an article namely ‘a’, ‘an’ or ‘the’ is present at the starting of a sentence. Then the chances of that sentence to be the 1st in the arrangement is more. 3). If all the articles (a, an, the) are present as the starting words of different sentences then they are arranged as follows a)The sentence starting with ‘A’ comes first b) The sentences starting with ‘An’ and ‘The’ will follow the sentence starting with ‘A’ according to their content

4). The sentences starting with the words ‘That’, ‘These’, ‘Thus’ and ‘Those’ , then those sentences will not come 1st in the paragraph 5). If a sentence starts with pronouns other than ‘I’ and ‘You’, then that sentence will not be the 1stsentence of the paragraph 6). Try to find out the topic addressed by the paragraph. This can be done by looking for the words that are repeated often in the given sentences. 7). If a particular word is repeated in more than one sentence then the sentences can be placed one by one in the paragraph

8). If there are 3-sentences starting with the words ‘But’, ‘So’ and ‘Now’ respectively. Then those 3-sentences will be arranged in the following order a) sentence starting with ‘But’ b) sentence starting with ‘So’ c) sentence starting with ‘Now’

9). If the given set of sentences consists of simple, compound and complex sentences they are arranged in the following order  simple sentence – a sentence that consists of basic elements like a subject, a verb and a completed thought. For example, Rajeev waited for the train.  compound sentence – a sentence that consists of 2-independent clauses connected to one another with a conjunction. For example, Rajeev waited for the bus, but the train was late.  complex sentence – a sentence that consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses connected to it. For example, Rajeev realized that the train was late while he waited at the station. Or, While he waited at the station, Rajeev realized that the train was late. 10) Try to find transitions words and linking words sometimes help to put the sentences in an order in sentence arrangement questions. They help the reader to flow more smoothly from one point to the next leads or follows the sentences containing transition word. Some of the most important transition words to observe in sentence arrangement are:- also, again, not only....but also, neither....or, either....or, as well as, besides, furthermore, in addition, moreover, similarly, consequently, hence, for example, yet, but, ............ Again, if you look at our opening paragraph, the first line starts with 'for this' --now we know that we need to figure out what 'this' refers to and the sentence containing the original 'this' will come before this sentence.

11) Look for short forms and abbreviations in the sentences. This trick is very useful in paragraphs in which both short form or abbreviations and full name are given. The sentences containing full for will obviously come before the sentences containing the abbreviation. 12). If a sentence starts with the words Hence, Finally or Therefore then that sentence comes last in the arrangement. 13) Last but not least, sometimes the events mentioned in the paragraph can be arranged in the chronological order making it easy for you to identify the sequence and arranged them.
