8. Hints For Effective Writing grammar and usage. An example of improper comma usage is The students like the class,that included experience use pronouns that are of the correct plurality. http://www.business.umt.edu/faculty/herron/writing_hints.htm

Hints for Effective Writing, Grammar, and Usage These suggestions arose out of my grading written assignments and research papers in various classes. They include common errors and suggestions for improving your writing. Remember that you must practice professional business writing skills to be able to use them. I estimate that 75% of the points lost for inappropriate grammar, usage, and style could have been avoided if the student had carefully proofed his or her paper. Do not rely solely on spell-check and grammar-check functions of Word. Proof your paper "cold" or after not having read it in 24 hours. Grammar and Usage Do not use contractions in business writing (can't, don't). Where possible, use third person. Avoid using first person unless the assignment has you writing about a personal experience or opinion. Commas and periods are always placed inside closing quotations. Even if you are only quoting one "word," place the comma or period inside the closing quotation. In a list of phrases, make sure the form of the phrase is consistent. Instead of, "One would prefer living in Montana, to buy groceries at Albertson's, and a nice apartment," write, "One would prefer living in Montana, buying groceries at Albertson's, and renting a nice apartment."

11. Lesson Tutor : Lesson Plan For Reflexive Tense And Pronouns It IS correct, however, to use reflexive pronouns in objective instance, it is notconsidered standard grammar to say correct usage would be He gave it to me http://www.lessontutor.com/eesReflexive.html

YOUR AD HERE You are HERE Myself and Other Reflexive Pronouns by Elaine Ernst Schneider January 31, 2001 rev. May 2003 "I myself have done that." "Jim, Susie, and myself were planning a trip." "He wasn't even sure hisself how to go about it." "You need to give that to myself when you are done." "They decided just to do that theirselves." Which ones are correct? Which ones are unacceptable? Why? The words "myself," "himself," "herself," "ourselves," and "themselves" are reflexive pronouns. Reflexive use is not often addressed in grammar books. We find present, past, future, and perfect tenses. And we find the various cases of pronouns. Both of those are enough to keep the average person confused! Then the "myself" word rears its ugly head and there are few books that offer rules for its use. Let me offer some guidelines. First, there are no such words as "hisself" or "theirselves." The correct reflexive forms for "him" and "them" use the objective case and become "himself" and "themselves." A good way to remember this is that the word "remember" has "m's" in it. "Himself" and "themselves" both have "m's." Another memory tool is to substitute "him" or "them" in the following sentence: "Give it to HIM." You would not say "Give it to HIS." That is because "him" and "them" are objective case and "his" and "their" are possessives. Second, reflexive use reinforces the subject. That means

More Essay Writing Advice: Grammar and Usage 1. Prooorfead carefully!! (avioD typos, speling errrors etc.) 2. Learn how to type umlauts 3. Avoid translating from English to German. This is often a lot more work than just coming up with an essay in German, and yet generally produces substantially lower grades, because what you write becomes very hard to understand. Students are often intimidated by the prospect of trying to "think in German," but you absolutely have to do that to write a good essay, and it's easier than you think. Click here for a procedure for how to begin doing this step-by-step, using the German you've learned as sort of a construction kit where you begin with really basic phrases and then expand and connect them using what you learned about e.g. adjectives, conjunctions and prepositions. 4. Be careful when using the dictionary! Use the information your dictionary provides to help you choose among the alternative German equivalents for an English term, and beware of translating idiomatic expressions literally (i.e. expressions like "fed up," "sick of," "to bite the dust," "this rules," "blow up" etc.). An especially serious mistake is picking the wrong parts of speech, e.g. looking up a noun when you want a verb or an adjective, or vice versa.

15. Pronouns And Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement of the most frequently asked questions about grammar is about is of course, strictlyspeaking, correct — and yet The usage to be preferred in ordinary speech http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/pronouns.htm

Pronouns and Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement For definitions of the various kinds of pronouns and their roles in a sentence, click HERE Basic Principle: A pronoun usually refers to something earlier in the text (its antecedent The indefinite pronouns anyone, anybody, everyone, everybody, someone, somebody, no one , and nobody are always singular. This is sometimes perplexing to writers who feel that everyone and everybody (especially) are referring to more than one person. The same is true of either and neither , which are always singular even though they seem to be referring to two things. The need for pronoun-antecedent agreement can create gender problems. If one were to write, for instance, "A student must see his counselor before the end of the semester," when there are female students about, nothing but grief will follow. One can pluralize, in this situation, to avoid the problem: Students must see their counselor before the end of the semester. Or, one could say A student must see his or her counselor. . . . Too many his 's and her 's eventually become annoying, however, and the reader becomes more aware of the writer trying to be conscious of good form than he or she is of the matter at hand.
