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.

Is it compulsory to use articles when referring to punctuations in their full form?

For example:


"...the use of question mark instead of full stop in a sentence."

Must there be "a" before "question mark" and "full stop"?

You need articles before both of those.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.
