Best route to learn grammar guidelines

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Best route to learn grammar guidelines

Post by Kristin Paolantonio »

Hi! Being new, (comma here?) I want to learn quickly for the review guidelines. Is there a recommendation easier than what I am doing? I have typed "comma" in the search button to read the posts and learn. Same for "quotations" and "capitalization". I also need to refresh on when to use "that" and "who". For example, (comma correct here?) "The lady down the street who owns a dog." That is correct? Not "The lady down the street that owns a dog." An answer to that is appreciated.

Thank you!

Also, I received a scorecard that counted my not capitalizing a chapter section as 3 mistakes (for the 3 words). Since it was a mistake capitalizing one chapter title, could it have been scored as 1 mistake instead?

It could be counted as separate errors.
