Grammar and punctuation
Good grammar and punctuation is fundamental if you want people to take your team seriously.
Overview
Good grammar and punctuation are fundamental if you want people to take your team seriously.
Yet everyone from newly graduated trainees to experienced managers can find themselves unsure about the basics that they may never have been taught in school.
This knowledge gap can leave many people continually stuck on common questions. Should you write ‘the company is’ or ‘the company are’? How exactly do you use a semicolon – or an apostrophe? Can you start a sentence with ‘but’?
This course will help clear up confusion and build your team’s confidence in everything they write. After getting a clear sense of the basics of grammar and punctuation, they may even begin to find the nuts and bolts of the English language fascinating.
