Grammar and Sentence Structure—From the Archive

16 June, 2025 by Debra Leave a Comment

Today, I’m turning to grammar—a topic we all love 😁. But why rehash an old subject when I’ve already written plenty about it. Below you’ll find various posts you have probably missed if you’re somewhat new to my blog, or if you’ve never searched the archive.

I’ve categorized them to make it easier for you.

Punctuation

“Three Rules on Using Commas”
“Don’t Let the Em Dash Confuse You, Here’s How to Use It”
“How to Use the Ellipsis and the Em Dash”
“Should I Use Italics or Quotation Marks? A Style Guide to Formatting Titles”

Sentence Structure and Formatting

“Sentence Structure and How It Impacts Your Reader”
“What’s the Difference Between Passive Voice and Passive Writing?”
“Don’t Confuse Your Reader with Your Pronouns”
“How to Identify Misplaced Modifiers”
“To Capitalize or not to capitalize”
“How to Format Numbers, Dates, and Times in Your Manuscript”

When all else fails, there are tools and places you can turn to for help with those grammar issues.

“7 Ways to Overcome Trouble with Grammar”

Grammar isn’t everybody’s favorite subject. And when it comes to the editing phase of writing your book, it’s probably the most hated aspect of editing. But it will help you to learn the basics, and cost you less with professional editors who charge by the hour.
