Grammar and Sentence Structure

Building Strong Sentences

Grammar is the set of rules that tells us how words fit together. Good grammar makes your writing clear and easy to understand.

Essential Grammar Topics

  • Parts of Speech: Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc.
  • Sentence Types: Simple, compound, and complex sentences.
  • Punctuation: Commas, periods, apostrophes, and more.
  • Subject-Verb Agreement: Making sure verbs match their subjects.

Fixing Common Mistakes

  • Watch out for run-on sentences.
  • Use commas to separate items in a list.
  • Make sure pronouns match the nouns they're replacing.

Real-World Uses

Proper grammar helps you fill out job applications, write emails, and communicate effectively.

Examples

  • You write a professional email without grammar mistakes.

  • You edit a paragraph to fix run-on sentences and add proper punctuation.
