Grammar Lesson Part Won

Standard

This is the first in my series on using proper grammar in writing your posts, tweets, blogs, emails, and apology letters. Twitter has different rules. But still, at least don’t use the wrong word if you can help it.

Correcting someone’s grammar is annoying. But I don’t mind being annoying. “Everyone is good at something,” I like to say. Here is an awesome quote.

“Just remember when you are correcting someone’s grammar that nobody likes you.”

Though that quote is probably true, I really want it not to be true because I am well at grammar correction.

My goal here is to teach you a little grammar and for you to think I am awesome.

They’re, there, their.

They’re is what you use for THEY ARE. Like this: “It is super cold, but my ears are warm because they’re covered in old man hair.”

There is what you use for a location. Like this: “I don’t know dad, the last time I saw your Salt ‘n’ Pepa cassette tape it was over there. And put a shirt on! My friends might come over and nobody wants to see your gross back hair!”

Their is what you use to indicate ownership or possession. Like this: “Justin and and Hannah thought they caught a glimpse of their Uncle Roger on the TV during an episode of Finding Bigfoot.”

There you go.

Next in this series: Two, too, to.

  1. I see the hair theme there. I’m sure Nate hopes it’s not an heir theme.

    Also, I don’t know what you and Mom are talking about. #That’sWhyI’mNotATeacher

  2. Your brother Anthony learned a long time ago that it is useless to try to correct my grammar or the placement or non placement of punctuation in my Facebook messages. Although English was my best subject I am old and have forgotten all of it. So I will continue to have long running sentences and in correct grammar !!

  3. Infinitive phrase: To want to be an actor is to go into life long analysis. (you probably need it anyway)
