At an examination hall sheets were given to my friend and I for taking exam.

Is my sentence correct?

 

[emsr2d2]

Were you the only two people in the hall?
What other purpose could those sheets have had?

 

[Rover_KE]

If you had been the only candidate, would you have said '... sheets were given to I'?

 

[tufguy]

No. There were others as well.

 

[emsr2d2]

So why were you the only people who were given sheets? Please answer Rover's question in post #3 too.

 

[tufguy]

If you had been the only candidate, would you have said '... sheets were given to I'?

No, I would have used "Me".

 

[Rover_KE]

Then say '... sheets were given to my friend and me'.

(To be fair, you'll hear native speakers get this wrong time and time again.)

OK, so let's get back to the main sentence. You now know that "I" was wrong. Here are the other issues:

1) "At" is the wrong preposition at the start. Try another one.
2) You are talking about the specific examination hall you were in so the indefinite article is wrong. Try a different article.
3) "for taking exam" is wrong. For a start, it's missing an article. Try rewording "for taking" too.

:bad-word:

 

[tufguy]

You have ignored the advice given by ems:

2) You are talking about the specific examination hall you were in so the indefinite article is wrong. Try a different article.
3) "for taking exam" is wrong. For a start, it's missing an article.

In the examination hall sheets were given to my friend and me to take the exam.

Is it correct now?

 

[emsr2d2]

It's better but it's not natural. Is there a good reason you used the passive voice? Try starting with "My friend and I were ..."

Other candidates along with my friend and I got the answer sheet at the examination hall to take exam.

 

[emsr2d2]

What part of Try starting with "My friend and I were ... wasn't clear?!

 

[GoesStation]

Would you write "along with I"?

 

[tufguy]

Would you write "along with I"?

sorry I am a bit confused.

 

[emsr2d2]

Sorry. I am a bit confused.

Forget the question about "along with" for now. Please try to do what I asked in post #14. Start the sentence with "My friend and I were given ...". (I've added another word to help you. It'll still be passive but the word order will be more natural.)

 

[tufguy]

Would you write "along with I"?

Now I got your question. Sorry I am a bit slow. Yes like "I went there along with my friend".

My friend and I were given the answer sheet to take exam.

 

[emsr2d2]

Wow! I wish I'd been given the answer sheet when I took exams! They only ever gave me the question sheet and a blank sheet of paper to write on.

Two points:

1) You have missed out an article before "exam".
2) Try using "the question sheet/paper".
