Background

English has always adapted to changes in written and verbal usage. Even if you paid full attention in your grade-school English classes, some of the rules have evolved. Also, different standards apply in different countries.

Grammar on the Rocks™ answers many of the nagging questions business writers face.

• When do I use a semicolon, and why?
• Which spelling means main – principle or principal?
• Does the comma go inside the close quotation mark or outside?
• Can I ever start a sentence with And or But?
• Is it acceptable to end a sentence with a preposition occasionally?

The workshop uses many examples to highlight lesser-known grammatical points, as well as shows why a rule exists and how it applies to other situations.
