How to approach Matching Sentence Endings
Matching Sentence Endings gives you the first half of several sentences and a longer list of possible endings. You match each beginning to the ending that completes it correctly according to the passage. There are always extra endings, so grammar and meaning together decide the answer.
- 1Read the sentence beginningsUnderstand what each half sentence is about and find that idea in the passage.
- 2Locate the idea in the textThe beginnings usually follow the passage order, so scan forward for the matching section.
- 3Pick the ending that fits both grammar and meaningThe correct ending must make a grammatical sentence and match what the passage states.
- 4Eliminate the extra endingsThere are more endings than beginnings. Rule out endings that clash in grammar or contradict the text.
- 5Reread the full sentenceCheck the joined sentence makes sense and reflects the passage before moving on.
Common mistakes to avoid
Choosing an ending only because the grammar fits.
Grammar narrows the options, but the meaning must also match the passage.
Ignoring that there are spare endings.
Some endings are never used. Do not force a leftover ending onto a beginning.
Matching on a shared word between the beginning and an ending.
Confirm the joined sentence reflects what the text actually says.

Why are there more endings than beginnings?
The extra endings are distractors. They are written to fit grammatically or share a word, so you must use both grammar and the meaning of the passage to choose.
Do the sentence beginnings follow the passage order?
Usually yes. The beginnings tend to track the order of the passage, so scan forward for each one.
What decides the correct ending?
The ending must form a grammatical sentence and must match what the passage states. An ending that fits the grammar but contradicts the text is wrong.
Is this Academic Reading?
Yes, the passages are IELTS Academic. This task type appears mainly in the Academic test.
