Mrs Mungo Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Don't spell grammar with an e. Personal pronouns (his, hers, its) don't get apostrophes. You don't use an apostrophe when you make something plural. The word "apostrophe" in my sig is a link to a page about apostrophes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Be a bit flexible when it comes to split infinitives. You have to really watch them. Or do you? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggie Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 If you are telling a story about something that happened in the PAST, don't use the PRESENT tense. For example, "So yesterday I go to the grocery store. I am walking down the aisle and see my very best friend. I say, 'Hey.' She says, 'Hey.' I say, 'Wow, those shoes are awesome.' I get some for myself as an early Christmas present." Ok, did you see that? My grammar advice is: Don't do that!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) this may not be exactly grammar, but it comes up often as a complaint on a writers board I visit - spell check is not your friend. adding - we don't have people FOR dinner, we have people TO dinner.

Chris in VA Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Make sure your subject and verb agree. Watch out for sentence fragments. Don't change tenses in the middle of a story/paragraph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
