What are the basic English grammar rules? •Only use capital letters for proper nouns and at the beginning of a sentence. •For every sentence there should be one noun and one verb. A sentence with more than one noun, or verb is confusing to understand. •When a sentence is complete use appropriate punctuation. There is no need to have dual punctuation when ending a sentence. •If an apostrophe is needed, make sure to use it to show ownership. An apostrophe is also used when words are abbreviated. •Whenever writing multiple sentences about the same subject or line of thought, use paragraphs to divide long segments of writing. •Should a line of thought require a list make sure to separate each article by a comma. •When connecting two lines of thought in a sentence, use a conjunction to make things make better sense. •If you have two lines of thought, that are similar feel free to use a semicolon to combine the sentence. •Make sure to use the correct sentence when writing or speaking English. •Try not to end a sentence with a preposition. •A conjunction word should not be used to start a sentence. •Try not to use double negatives. Such as no not never. •Avoid repeating lines of thought in a sentence. •Make sure paragraphs are complete, having three to five sentences each.
