To find out if it'll improve my writing
3 years ago
I want to have a better understanding of English grammar just to find out if it’ll help me become a better writer. I can tell what sounds correct and what sounds incorrect, but I can’t always explain why.
If I know precisely why something is grammatically incorrect, maybe I’ll be better at correcting it. If not, that’s fine, too; I’m interested in linguistics, so I’ll still find it worthwhile.
I’ve already covered the basics in my blog (LearningNerd), collecting links to helpful grammar websites and listing all the types of phrases, clauses, sentence elements, and parts of speech. Once I finish reviewing punctuation, I guess the next step to better grammar is just to read—a lot.
