Why This Course?
If you have found grammar and punctuation to be confusing or mysterious, then this course is for you. I have designed this course to cover the “must know” elements of grammar and punctuation with easy explanations that everyone can understand. Years ago I set out to find an affordable grammar resource for my students and made a startling discovery. There wasn’t one! I found that too many English courses and textbooks taught unnecessary information and technical terminology, confusing students more than helping them. The material seemed like it was made for English teachers and not English students. Also, the materials that were okay were unnecessarily expensive. That is why I wrote Just the Basics of English Grammar and produced the video course Grammar Boot Camp. I wanted to give my students simple, easy tools that would actually improve their writing at a low cost.
Having taught students at all levels for 15 years, I understand the pitfalls and points of confusion that give people trouble. The examples and explanations in this course are tested in the classroom and have proven the most effective in helping students understand the material and master the necessary skills.
Here are just a few of the skills you will learn in this course:
-
The importance of sentence boundaries (correcting fragments and run-ons).
-
How to avoid unnecessary shifts in tense and pronoun usage.
-
How to write clear, to-the-point sentences, avoiding awkward and wordy phrasing.
-
How to avoid faulty parallel structure (and what that even means).
-
How to use the best words, especially verbs, to make your writing more powerful.
-
When to use commas and other punctuation.
-
How to use quotations and dialogue in your writing.

Common writing mistakes were well covered and the exercises help in reinforcing what had be been taught in each lesson. Yes, I would recommended for anyone looking to refresh their grammar.
Chimpoforevah –
At first glance, I felt the course was too basic. However, as the course ran on, I found that I was an egregious comma splice run-on sentence abuser.
I also found many other areas where I needed improvement: such as appropriate apostrophe placement with plural subjects, or with subjects that ended with an “s”.
Of note: the narrator is no Len Smith. He lacks the humor and charm of the aforementioned writer. Good content, nonetheless.
Andrew Stewart –
Amazing list of valuable English tips and common errors. Course Narration is a little monotonous.

Swaraj Prasad –
Mr. Lawerence has done amazing job by crafting this valuable lessons on Grammar. I am struggling hard to find resource on the internet that can give nice lessons on tips of advance English grammar. Beginners can also enjoy it. But one who has a experience in English writing and have some knowledge over it, good for them.. Lastly, you won’t get a certificate. I request Mr. Lawrence to provide a certificate too. That will add feather in your cap.
