This applies directly to my future and will allow me to succeed in life. Using proper grammar can be the make or break for getting and keeping a job. If you have mistakes in your resume then your employer will not hire you. When you are going to email your boss, then you would want to use proper punctuation and grammar as well. There are a lot more situations than you would think where proper grammar is important. Mastering grammar now will serve as a foundation for your future. Being able to communicate properly will make you seem more educated and professional. People will take you more seriously and more opportunities will come your way. Knowing when to use commas and grammar properly will make your life better so the sooner you start mastering it, then the sooner your future will brighten.

  1. I thought I had a decent grasp of English grammar rules before this class. Subject, verb, complement? Subjunctive, indicative, or imperative clauses?

    It seems like the most valuable thing I've gotten from my college experience is a constant reminder of how much I don't know. Thanks, M COM.

  2. Nice background. I hate to rub it in, but that kind of view is pretty familiar to me. I picked a terrible time to miss class, but I totes agree with you. Grammar changes necessary communication into understandable, memorable, and delightful communication. One thing I would suggest with mastering this is become a grammar nazi (as my fiancee has started calling me for correcting her "i'm doing goods" to "i'm doing well's"). Get to know the factors that trigger the use of a grammar principle. Memorize those things like scripture mastery. Then you can whip that stuff out no problem!
