A fascinating and possibly unanticipated result of the growth in social media for marketing is the growing need for skilled writers. To keep readers interested and engaged blogs, drip marketing opt-in electronic newsletters as well as other "new media", require good writing skills.

The elements of good writing are simple such as spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization. By mastering the conventions and rules, you will improve your writing and make it more comprehensible and enjoyable to your readers.

Grammar

The science of grammar is explaining the structure and forms of words (called Morphology) and how they are organized in sentences (called Syntax). In the same way, grammar lays out the basic rules for the use of both spoken and written language so we can more easily communicate with one another.

These eight components are the basic building blocks of grammar:

Verbs are used to convey the actions, events, or states of being.

Nouns are used to describe the person, animal, place, thing, or an abstract concept.

Pronouns are used to replace nouns, or another pronoun.

Pronouns and nouns are altered through adjectives. They can be described, identified, or quantified using adjectives. A pronoun or a noun it modifies is typically preceded by an adjective.

Adverbs are used to alter a verb, an adjective, another adverb , an expression or clause. They indicate the manner the time and location of events in addition to the cause and effect. Because they answer which (when, where or what) they are easy to identify. A lot of adverbs begin with the letter ly.

Prepositions can be used to link pronouns as well as nouns and phrases in a sentence. They are typically used to indicate a relationship between space, time or logic.

Conjunctions connect words or phrases.

Interjections are often added to sentences to express emotion. They are typically preceded by an exclamation mark.

Each sentence is composed of two parts: the subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing). The subject is a noun , or an adjective; the predicate is an adjective or a verb. Find the verb and ask the question who or what to determine the subject. The subject is the answer.

Modifiers phrases, clauses, and clauses provide information about the predicate or subject making the writing more engaging. Modifiers are words that acts as an adjective adverb , or phrase. A sentence that includes two or more words with no subject or predicate acting as adjectives or adjectival terms is called a sentence. Additionally, two or more words that play both adjectives and role of adverbs are known as phrases. Three or more words acting on the subject or predicate as predicate or subject is called the phrase.


No matter if they are single words, phrases or even clauses, modifiers must appear close to the word or phrases they alter, particularly if the reader might mistake the word or phrase being modified. On wordssite.com You can get a clear idea about Positive words.

Spelling

Spell checkers are available in word processing software to eliminate spelling errors, except for homonyms. A homonym is one that sounds identical to another but is spelled differently and has a different meaning.

Punctuation

Punctuation is the method used to express the meaning of a sentence. In fact it may even change the meaning of a sentence.

Without her husband the woman is nothing.

Man isn't complete without the woman.

This is a brief explanation of the way punctuation functions:

A comma allows the reader to pause and absorb information. They are also used to distinguish the parts of an ongoing series.

A semi-colon joins two independent clauses that are closely related in terms of meaning, but not connected through an interposition.

A colon introduces a list or a summation. It can also be used to connect concepts that were presented in different clauses.

End punctuation (period or question mark, as well as an exclamation mark) signifies the end of the sentence.

The parentheses can be used to include words that aren't directly related to the principal concept of the sentence however, they provide valuable details or give examples.

Dashes signify an abrupt change in thought or breaks in the sentence. Dashes can also be used in the place of parentheses to emphasise information.

Quotation marks are used to indicate direct speech. Except for colons and semi-colons which are not included in the quotation the punctuation marks are included within the quotation marks.

Capitalization

The use of capitalization, as well as punctuation, helps to convey information. The capitalization of the first word in every sentence indicates that an entirely new sentence is being written. Proper nouns, also known as the names given to specific people, places, or things that are capitalized, signify the uniqueness of each. But, it's not appropriate to capitalize words just to make a word look or seem important.

The importance of Grammar

Grammar is important as it imparts information that helps the reader's comprehension. It is the format that communicates precise information from the author to the audience. Clarity in communication will be a benefit to readers and help you eliminate errors in grammar.
