Grammar Refresher
Grammar is rhetorical and contextual; what word or phrase “works” or what is “right” in one situation may not be correct or even appropriate in another. This workshop not only offers a refresher on both common and advanced grammar and punctuation struggles, but also provides workplace writers a more nuanced and complex understanding of language choices and how they can most effectively make sentence-level decisions to best communicate in the workplace. This workshop will benefit any workplace writer who could use a refresher on grammar and punctuation, as well as those interested in the nuances of language use.
