Grammar Workshop Structure

Getting Started

Introduction:

The course begins with a pre-test grammar and punctuation quiz to assess current skills and identify areas for improvement. This initial evaluation provides a benchmark for measuring progress throughout the course.

Lesson One:

Top Five Most Common Business Grammar Errors

This lesson covers five frequent grammar mistakes that impact professionalism in business writing. Participants will learn to correct run-on sentences, sentence fragments, hyphen errors, pronoun misuse ("me, myself, and I"), and introductory clause comma placement to enhance clarity and accuracy.

Lesson 2

How to Punctuate Correctly

Punctuation plays a crucial role in ensuring precision and readability. This lesson teaches proper comma usage, the differences between semicolons and colons, apostrophe rules, and the correct application of parentheses, dashes, and quotation marks in business communication.

Lesson 3

Spelling Errors

Spelling mistakes can undermine credibility in business writing. This lesson provides proofreading techniques, guidance on high-risk spelling areas, ten practical spelling improvement tips, and recommendations for the best spellchecker tools to maintain error-free writing.

Lesson 4

Usage Errors

Common word usage mistakes can lead to confusion and weaken writing effectiveness. Participants will learn to identify and correct frequently misused words, write with clarity using "straight talk," and avoid "smothered" verbs that dilute sentence impact.

Lesson 5

Capitalization Errors

Capitalization rules can be tricky but are essential for professional writing. This lesson covers when to capitalize titles, geographic locations, points of the compass, seasons, trade names, and literary or artistic works, ensuring consistency and accuracy in business documents.

Lesson 6

Number Errors

Knowing when to use words versus numerals improves readability and consistency in business writing. This lesson explains when to spell out numbers, when to use digits, and how to proofread numerical content effectively, ensuring that data-driven documents remain accurate and professional.

Lesson 7

Format Errors

Proper formatting enhances document clarity and readability. Participants will learn how to structure and punctuate bullet lists, format run-in lists, apply correct header levels, and identify common formatting mistakes to improve overall document presentation.

Wrap-Up

The final lesson reinforces all key grammar, punctuation, spelling, usage, number, and formatting skills covered in the course. Participants will complete a post-test grammar and punctuation quiz to measure improvement and receive recommendations for tools to support continued grammar mastery in business writing.

Ha! Who knew punctuation mattered so much! My favorite example will forever be "A woman without her man is nothing." TO "A woman. Without her, man is nothing." Point taken that punctuation matters!
