Learn all you'll ever need to know about grammar and punctuation

Our teach-yourself guide will help you get to grips with all the important aspects of English grammar and punctuation.

Even people who spend most of their working day writing to colleagues, customers and prospective customers may be unsure about their own grasp of grammar and punctuation. They might not have had an English grammar lesson in their lives. As a result they feel nervous when they write, or confused when their writing is corrected or rejected for no apparent reason.

Our 33-page, A4 guide looks at nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, and answers questions such as 'is it ok to start a sentence with 'And' or 'But'?' and 'what is a split infinitive?'.

It also guides you through the main punctuation marks and their uses. There are lots of exercises along the way to test your new-found knowledge.

At the Word Centre we see many hundreds of business documents every year, either when we edit them or when people bring them along to our courses to get our feedback. We see the same mistakes over and over again. So this workbook concentrates on the grammatical and punctuation issues that we feel writers most need to know about.
