Grammar

I have never been good at Grammar, I either put way too many commas or never enough.  I have a bad habit of writing run on sentences and completely forgetting that a semicolon is a form of punctuation. I don't consider myself a bad writer when it comes to creating new ideas and organizing the paper, but usually if I do get a bad grade it is because of grammar. Sometimes the computer application called Grammarly can't even help me.

Grammar Notes From Class

• Period creates a full stop effect
• Semicolon is an artsy yield, not a full stop
• Comma means breathe
• Conjunctions (FANBOYS)
• For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So
• Conjunctions are "glue" and when you use it you also use a comma
• Allowed to write with "I"

Grammar is play. Grammar is intention

A woman without her man is nothing

• A woman without her man, is nothing
• A woman, without her man, is nothing 

Sentence Improvement Strategies

• Add an -ing or -ed word or phrases to the front of the sentences
• Add strong, visual, action verbs
• Place adjectives or descriptions out of order
