"If I was you, I’ d do something different.
You’ve probably heard this sentence, or something like it. You may even
have used it. Some part of your brain tells you there’s something wrong with
it, but you’re not sure quite what.
There are lots of other sentences like that:
We just saw two baby deers.
The guys vehicle exploded in flames.
Everything’s going to be alright now.
Each one of those sentences has something wrong with it, but at first
glance the problem may not be obvious. This book is here to show you how to
fix these and other incorrect words and sentences. Your guide for this project?
The rules of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Now, don’t let this reference to grammar frighten you. Look at it this
way: Grammar is really just a road map to language.
Every time we start to write something, we’re setting off on an unknown
journey across that big blank computer screen or piece of paper. We usually
have a pretty good idea of where we are and where we want to get to. It’s the
part in between that can be scary.
This is where knowing the basic rules of English grammar and spelling
helps. The rules are like signposts at key junctions telling you which way to
turn. They help keep you from getting lost and confused amid the strange
jungle that is the English language."
