Grammar and punctuation at work

Can you put a comma before ‘and’? What exactly are verbs? And what’s the difference between a hyphen and a dash? If you missed out on grammar and punctuation at school, or have forgotten what you once learned, this invaluable refresher course will quickly put you back on track.

You will find out why grammar matters and which bits matter most; how to avoid getting things wrong; and when and how to punctuate for clarity and meaning. It’s only by understanding the building blocks of language that you will gradually gain confidence as a writer – not just so as to avoid mistakes, but also so as to manipulate words to do what you want them to.
