Employers want employees with oral and written communication skills that allow them to communicate in the business world with accuracy and competency. This requires basic grammar skills. This text wraps up the proper use of commas in ten concise rules, semicolons in four concise rules, fancy adjectives in two concise rules, and writing numbers in 10 concise rules. Furthermore, this text touches on possessive nouns and the five common mistakes that can ruin the readers impression of the writer. The basis of correctly using commas and semicolons begins with the parts of speech; therefore, students review the parts of speech. For many students it has been a few decades since they’ve been asked to identify the subject and verb in a sentence, a skill necessary to know where to put the commas. This book was created after 18 years of seeing where students struggle. The hidden gem in this book is the multitude of exercises provided so the student can immediately use what they have learned.
