(yes i had one of these going a while back)

WE WILL DISCUSS TOPICS OF GRAMMAR, USAGE, AND SPELLING.

FIRST LESSON

YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO USE COMMAS CORRECTLY.

FIRST USE: SEPARATING ITEMS IN A SEQUENCE

LESSON OVERVIEW: YOU CAN USE COMMAS TO SEPARATE COMPOUND OBJECTS OR SUBJECTS IN GROUPS OF THREE OR MORE.

EX: JIMMY BOUGHT APPLES, PEARS, AND BANANAS.

SECOND USE: CONNECTING INDEPENDENT CLAUSES

LESSON OVERVIEW: YOU CAN PUT TWO INDEPENDENT CLAUSES TOGETHER BY USING AND, BUT, FOR, NOR, YET, SO.

EX: JIMMY BOUGHT APPLES, BUT DID NOT BUY PEARS.

THE TWO INDEPENDENT CLAUSES ARE: "JIMMY BOUGHT APPLES" AND "JIMMY DID NOT BUY PEARS." YOU CAN CONNECT THEM USING "BUT."

EX: JIMMY DID NOT BUY APPLES, NOR PEARS.

THE TWO INDEPENDENT CLAUSES ARE: "JIMMY DID NOT BUY APPLES" AND "JIMMY DID NOT BUY PEARS." BECAUSE "BUY" IS ALREADY NEGATED, YOU USE "NOR," WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY THE NEGATED FORM OF "OR." (NOTE: "OR" COULD BE USED IN THIS SENTENCE, BUT THEN A COMMA WOULD NOT BE NEEDED: "JIMMY DID NOT BUY APPLES OR PEARS.")

THIRD USE: APPOSITIVE PHRASES

LESSON OVERVIEW: YOU CAN BETTER DESCRIBE A SUBJECT OR OBJECT WITH AN APPOSITIVE PHRASE SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE SENTENCE BY COMMAS.

EX: JIMMY, HUNGRY AND WEAK, BOUGHT APPLES.
EX: HUNGRY AND WEAK, JIMMY BOUGHT APPLES.

"HUNGRY AND WEAK" IS THE APPOSITIVE PHRASE, "JIMMY" IS THE SUBJECT.

END LESSON 1

ANY QUESTIONS?

This should be titled @vamp, but then it'd be considered a PA.

Oh well.

COMMAS ARE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN:

Let's eat Grandpa!

AND

Let's eat, Grandpa!

YOU ARE WELCOME.

A six-minute video explaining nearly all role-players that are far too stuck-up and think of themselves greater than others, bragging their ***"properly"*** false style of "English";

Stephen Fry Kinetic Typography - Language (Search this on You-tube. I ask of six-minutes of your time for one simple video.)

"Common sense? What's that?"

SECOND LESSON

YOU WILL LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEIR, THEY'RE, AND THERE

THESE ARE ALL |=|OMOPHONES TO EACH OTHER, MEANING THEY SOUND THE SAME BUT ARE SPELLED DIFFERENTLY AND HAVE DIFFERENT MEANINGS

FIRST FORM: THEIR

LESSON OVERVIEW: YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY USE THEIR.

USAGE: THEIR IS A WORD USED TO SHOW POSSESSION BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE, OR, IF YOU ARE A LINGUISTICS PERSON, IT IS USED TO SHOW POSSESSION IN THIRD PERSON PLURAL.

EX: THAT IS THEIR HOUSE.

"THEIR" SHOWING THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE POSSESSION OF THE HOUSE.

SECOND FORM: THEY'RE

LESSON OVERVIEW: YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY USE THEY'RE.

USAGE: THEY'RE IS THE CONJUNCTION OF "THEY" AND "ARE," OR, IF YOU ARE LINGUISTICS PERSON, IT IS THE CONJUNCTION OF "THEY" AND "ARE."

EX: THEY'RE FUNNY. (OR: THEY ARE FUNNY)

THIRD FORM: THERE

LESSON OVERVIEW: YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY USE THERE.

USAGE: THERE IS USED WHEN TALKING ABOUT PLACES, OR PLACES YOU ARE NOT PRESENTLY AT. (WHEN TALKING ABOUT A PLACE YOU ARE PRESENTLY AT, YOU WOULD USE "HERE")

EX: I SAID I WOULD MEET THEM THERE.

"THERE" IS A PLACE THAT YOU WOULD BE MEETING YOUR FRIENDS, THEREFOR YOU ARE NOT PRESENTLY THERE.

EX: THERE'S THE GHOST! (OR: THERE IS THE GHOST!)

"THERE'S" IS A CONJUNCTION OF "THERE" AND "IS," AND IT IS DESCRIBING WHERE THE GHOST IS.

END LESSON TWO

YES, REX, COMMAS CAN ALSO BE USED TO SEPARATE SUBJECTS FROM THE REST OF THE SENTENCE AND ALSO CHANGING WHO IS DOING THE VERB

THE EXAMPLE: LET'S EAT GRANDPA! OR LET'S EAT, GRANDPA! SHOWS THIS BECAUSE IN THE FIRST VERSION, ONLY "US" OR "WE" ARE DOING THE EATING, BUT IN THE SECOND VERSION, GRANDPA IS INCLUDED IN "US" OR "WE"
