  • The use of prepositions and how to use them.
  • Independent clauses, dependent clauses, and how to get them to match
  • Misplaced modifiers and those pesky dangling modifiers

August 11: “Pronouns and  verb voice – What You Never Knew”.

  • Pronouns versus Proper nouns (pronoun case problems)
  • Shifts in verb voice
  • Shifts in verb mood

August 18: “Why are My Sentences so Long?”

  •  Dangling modifiers (once again!)
  • Parallelism
  • Run-on Sentences
  • Comma Splices
  • Sentence Fragments

August 25: “Where does the comma go?”

  • Commas
  • Em Dashes and why not to use parentheses
  • Ellipses, how to use them, and when to use an em dash

EACH WORKSHOP WILL START PROMPTLY AT 8.  PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY TO ENSURE YOU CAN SIGN IN. 

Again, you must pre-register and pay for this chat in order to attend.  We will be verifying registrations each week.  A transcript is available for all paid attendees upon request.
