    Rules of English grammar
    Some important rules every writer should know.
    Even though most of us either flunked out or fell asleep during English grammar class in school, it is an integral part of writing whether you are a professional writer or just want to write a note to your sons teacher. Using good grammar helps get your point across effectively and focuses the attention on what you have to say instead of how you choose to say it. While there are hundreds of rules of grammar that are laid out in several style guides such as The Chicago Manual of Style and The Elements of Style, there are some that are absolute essentials to good writing that everyone should master. Agreement Agreement in a sentence refers to all of the parts of the sentence corroborating with each other. For example, you wouldnt say John have two pieces of toast and I has three. You would instead say, John has two pieces of toast and I have three. The subjects and verbs need to be in agreement. Without sentence agreement you have all-out civil war in your sentence and no one knows what is going on. If your sentence parts dont agree with each other you will have to jump in and mediate, causing hard feelings all around. bodyOffer(30947) Tense Tense refers to time. What time is it in your sentence? Whatever time it is it should remain consistent throughout your whole piece of writing. If it was last week you are talking about, stay there. There are three tenses in writing, past tense, present tense and future tense. Here is an example of writing with mixed tenses: Carrie wondered how she is going to finish in time, but Joe will help her. This sentence contains all three tenses, past in wondered, present in is and future in will. Pick a tense and stick to it! The sentence could read Carry wonders how she will finish in time, but Joe will help.

    "And let us not grow weary when doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
    Galatians 6:9 These basic grammar, punctuation, and capitalization tips are meant to be a starting point for further study. For further information check out our Writing Reference Links and for more comprehensive study, in learning to write, we recommend these King's Harvest Books: Comprehensive Composition , and Natural Speller. Grammar is defined as the study of how words and their parts combine to form sentences. Students need to have an understanding of grammar, so they will know how words and sentences should be put together. This will improve their ability to communicate effectively, whether speaking or writing. Parts of speech are words that are classified according to their functions in sentences. The eight parts of speech are nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, pronouns, verbs, and interjections. Articles are sometimes included, as well. Parts of Speech defined:
    • Noun - a word that names a person, place, thing or idea.

    Grammar Journals
    Grammar Journals are a quick way to practice necessary punctuation and capitalization rules. They are an efficient way to see at almost a glance which of your students is having trouble with a particular skill and which is grasping skills immediately. In addition it gives the students practice using proofreader's marks. I use this activity during the first grading period with my sixth-grade class as a follow up to all the rules they learned in fifth-grade.
    Directions:
  • I prepare a journal cover for each of my students by folding a 9" x 12" piece of construction paper in half and placing on it a computer generated label with each student's name.
  • On the first day of school I have each student take ten pieces of loose leaf paper and fold them in half, slipping the paper between the folded cover and stapling them.
  • Every morning before the students arrive, I write a sentence containing capitalization and punctuation mistakes on the chalkboard. I use the same rules during the entire week. The following week I add another rule to those reviewed last week.
  • When the students arrive, they are to copy the incorrect sentence into their journal, use proofreading marks to show needed corrections, then correctly write the sentence. They are to have these completed before the day's opening exercises.

    Rules for Capitalization of a Headline
    As you produce your newsletter, there is one thing that you must do over and over again. Every article, large or small, must have a headline written for it. In this two part series, we begin by looking at the technical part of headline writing—capitalization. There are some basic rules for capitalization of a headline. As you place your headlines into your newsletter, follow these guidelines: All principal words should be capitalized. This includes the first and last words of a headline, and all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinating conjunctions (if, because, as, that, etc.). Do capitalize the first word after a colon. Articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for), and prepositions of any length, are to remain lowercased. However, if any of these are the first or last word of the headline, they should be capitalized. If you have an abbreviation in your headline that is normally lowercase, it should be left lowercase, particularly abbreviations for units of measure.

    Grammar and Usage Guidelines
    This chapter contains an alphabetical list of grammar and usage guidelines for use in GNOME documentation. Many of these guidelines are only applicable to English-language usage, see the American Heritage Dictionary and the Chicago Manual of Style
    Abbreviations
    Rules: A shortened form of a word or phrase that takes the place of the full word or phrase, for example Dr., a.m., p.m., and so on. Apply the following rules when you use abbreviations:
    • Avoid creating new abbreviations. Unfamiliar abbreviations can confuse rather than clarify a concept. Do not explain or expand familiar abbreviations. Do not include familiar abbreviations in the glossary of your manual.
    Adjectives
    Rules: Use adjectives with caution. If an adjective is necessary to differentiate between items, then use adjectives. In all cases, test whether the phrase can stand alone without the adjective.
    Acronyms
    Rules: A term that represents a multi-word term. Typically, acronyms are formed in the following ways:
    • From the first letters of each word in a compound term, for example Table of Contents (TOC).

    Grammar: A Handy Guide
    Normal rules of English grammar are often violated in technical writing, sometimes with good reason. However, writers are often not aware of these violations. This guide identifies some of the rules that are most commonly violated. See also Commonly Confused Words and Deadwood Phrases . For a grammar refresher, grammar workshops are available.

      Apostrophes Enclosures Capitalization Numbers/Numerals ... Which or That
      Apostrophes
      The apostrophe is used to indicate possession and to indicate contracted words, e.g., we would say "the waste tank's fuel rods" (possessive) and"don't go yet" (contracted words). However, contracted words are considered somewhat slang and should not be used in technical writing. A notable exception to using the apostrophe for possession is the use of possessive pronouns where the apostrophe is not used. The case that causes confusion is the pronoun "its." People quite often want to use the apostrophe, but it is not appropriate. A helpful hint is to think of other possessive pronouns.The apostrophe is not used with his, hers, or theirs, and it is not used with its. Never use "it's" in technical writing: write out "it is."
