What You Will Learn?

  • Think back to the last time you wrote anything. Were you confident about where you placed your commas?.
  • If not, then you're not alone! Comma errors are the most common set of grammatical mistakes -- just ask any English teacher. Rather than a list of rules, this course teaches comma usage through three easy steps that just about anyone can remember and apply. In fact, I use this approach a lot with English Language Learners who are even more likely to be confused by all the confusing grammatical terms than native speakers. .
  • In this class, you'll learn: .
  • If you've ever stared at a sentence, took a comma out, and then put it back in, this class is for you. Throughout the class, you'll have ample opportunities to test your skills and flex your comma muscles with short exercises. Because editing and proofreading can be very difficult to accomplish on a video, I've also included a 30+ page booklet of answers, additional information about commas, and additional exercises. .
  • By the end of this course, you'll be confident in your comma placement, and you'll be able to figure out when you need a comma -- even when you're too tired to remember your own name. .
