Grammar is often the area of language that causes most panic. But don't worry, we will tackle the process of learning grammar in bite-size chunks, and all in context. It is essential to understand how a language works and to feel confident with grammar, but in the right context, and with the right guidance, you will learn quickly. So if you are confused by clauses, tense about tenses, and anxious about adjectives, don't be. Practice will make perfect.
Punctuation can also be very confusing, even for native speakers, but it is essential if you wish to write credibly and professionally. Below are a few common questions.
What's the difference between a full stop (.) and a semicolon (;)?
