Grammar

Why study grammar? The modern biolinguists seem to indicate that spoken language is strongly instinctual in nature. A person does not just mimic what has been heard but rather creates and composes a communication. Writing, however, seems to be more cultural than instinctive. A young person who might have great facility with the spoken language must still be taught the abstract symbols of the language and some of the structure of the language (grammar) before the person can communicate well in writing. The exactness and unlimited creativeness found in the written language are the result of the writer’s knowledge of the nature and the structure of the English sentence.

This is a page that I really like to introduce about how to have a good syntax in writing essay. I will include some of good grammatical topics referring to how to do build a good solid essay with grammatical errors limited. Here are three things I want to talk about:

  1. Punctuation
  2. Sentence Structures
  3. Word Choice
