GMAT语法部分的常用词组有哪些呢?澳际留学于近期总结了一批GMAT语法的常用词组，并推荐给广大考生，目前正在积极备战GMAT考试的同学不妨参考一下。

　　30. Usage of that

　　It is well known in the supermarket industry that how items are placed on shelves and how frequently inventory turns over can be crucial to profits.

　　A panel concluded that malnutrition is the most serious health problem facing the third world countries, but that it can and will be eradicated with the assistance of developed countries.

　　The difference here is that the word that is not present after the word and in the first sentence.

　　Let‘s say you have something like the following:

　　I know that you are very smart and that you are strong as well.

　　In this sentence, we have three things that are EXACTLY the same:

　　- that

　　- you

　　- are

　　Depending on the sentence, you might all or none of the repeated elements.

　　If the sentence is short and sweet, we can omit more stuff:

　　I know that you are very smart and strong.

　　If there‘s more stuff intervening, we might choose to add one of these elements to remind

　　the reader just what‘s parallel:

　　I know that you are very smart when it‘s later in the day and you‘ve had your coffee and that you are strong as well.

　　In this case, the that serves to remind us just what part of the previous sentence the next part is going to parallel.

　　31. Usage of whether or not

　　The Garcia government faces the greatest crisis of its mandate, and its political future after the next election depends on if it can restore the public‘s confidence and can move beyond the current political impasse in the Congress.

　　A if it can restore the public‘s confidence and can move beyond

　　B whether it can restore the public‘s confidence and move beyond

　　C the ability to restore the public‘s confidence and moving

　　D whether or not it can restore the public‘s confidence and be able to move beyond

　　E its capability for restoring the public‘s confidence and move beyond

　　Well, GMAT has said in their publications that whether or not is redundant, since whether

　　already includes the idea of two options; in other words, the exact same idea is expressed without or not.

　　32.

　　The guiding principles of the tax plan released by the Treasury Department could have even a greater significance for the economy than the particulars of the plan.

　　(A) even a greater significance for the economy than

　　(B) a significance that is even greater for the economy than

　　(C) even greater significance for the economy than have

　　(D) even greater significance for the economy than do

　　(E) a significance even greater for the economy than have

　　D is indeed best in SAE.

　　In SAE, we generally use do to replace regular verbs, i.e., verbs that are not linking verbs, verbs that use modals, etc.

　　For example:

　　Megumi speaks Japanese better than I do.

　　But you already knew that, I‘m sure.

　　Look at the following examples for something (perhaps) new:

　　Megumi has visited more countries than I have.

　　We can use have again because have is an auxiliary verb here.

　　Megumi has more skirts than I do.

　　Here, has is NOT an auxiliary verb, and in SAE, we cannot use the verb have in the second bit.

　　33. each other vs [/b]the other[/b]

　　Q 2: The complex tax dispute between the Covered Bridge Mall and Harris Township is not likely to be adjudicated for several years, and, in the meantime, both sides are intent on creating difficulties for the other.

　　(A) both sides are intent on creating difficulties for the other

　　(B) both sides are intent on creating difficulties for each other

　　(C) each side is intent on creating difficulties for the other

　　(D) each side is intent on creating difficulties for one another

　　(E) the sides are both intent on creating difficulties for each other

　　The other issue is also important--the difference between each/the other and both/each other.

　　Use each when the parties are more separate, and use both when the parties are collaborating.

　　For example, each side was fighting the other sounds better than both sides were fighting each other, don‘t you think?
