Cheat Sheet
- Master Subject-Verb Agreement - Subject and verb need to be the ultimate tag team: if your subject is solo, your verb stays singular, and if your subject is a squad, your verb goes plural. Picture it like a dance - one dancer (She runs) vs. a flash mob (They run) - to keep your sentences in step. Spot these mismatches and your writing will always be in perfect rhythm! unr.edu
- Understand Common Verb Tenses - Think of verb tenses as your personal time machine: present ("I eat"), past ("I ate"), and future ("I will eat") each tell a different story. Practice shifting between these time zones to nail your narrative's timeline. Mastering tenses keeps your readers from getting lost in the time warp! unr.edu
- Use Articles Correctly - Articles are like traffic signs: "a" and "an" guide you to any random item, while "the" points to that one special thing everyone knows. Remember to pick "a" before consonant sounds, "an" before vowel sounds, and "the" when you've already met the noun. Follow these signals to avoid collision in your sentences! unr.edu
- Identify and Use Prepositions - Prepositions are your sentence's GPS, showing where things are: "in," "on," "at" and beyond. Whether you're "in the room," "on the table," or "at noon," these little words map out relationships. Nail your prepositions and you'll never take a wrong turn in communication! unr.edu
- Recognize Sentence Patterns - Sentences are built on patterns like Subject-Verb-Object (SVO): "The cat (S) chased (V) the mouse (O)." Identifying these blueprints helps you craft clear, well-structured statements. Think of patterns as the Lego instructions for your writing masterpiece! unr.edu
- Differentiate Between Commonly Confused Words - Don't let "their," "there," and "they're" crash your party: "their" owns it, "there" points to a place, and "they're" is short for "they are." A quick check before you hit send saves you from embarrassing mix-ups. Keep these triplets straight and watch your credibility soar! unr.edu
- Practice Using Modal Verbs - Modal verbs are your power tools - "can" gives ability, "should" offers advice, and "must" signals necessity. Sprinkle them into sentences like "You can ace this quiz" or "You must practice daily" to add clear intent. These little helpers pack a big punch! unr.edu
- Learn the Use of Conjunctions - Conjunctions are the ultimate connectors - "and," "but," "or" link words, phrases, and clauses into meaningful chains. Whether you're joining ideas ("apples and oranges") or setting up contrasts ("I wanted to go, but it rained"), conjunctions are your sentence glue. Master them to build stronger, more fluid writing! unr.edu
- Understand Pronoun Usage - Pronouns step in for nouns to keep your writing from sounding like a broken record: "John is tired. He needs rest." Using "he," "she," "it," and "they" correctly avoids awkward repetition. Get your pronouns right and your prose will flow like a chat among friends! unr.edu
- Recognize and Correct Run-On Sentences - Run-ons are like traffic jams in writing - too many ideas squashed together without proper punctuation. Break them up into bite-sized sentences or use conjunctions and commas: "I love to write. It's my passion." Your readers will thank you for the smooth ride! unr.edu
