Grammar tips 1

  • Don’t use the term “good” to describe food or drinks.
    • (Use “delicious” or “tasty”)
  • Don’t use the word “and” at the beginning of a sentence.
  • Don’t start a sentence with “so”, “but”, or “because”.
    • (Use “Thus”, “However” and “For”)
  • Don’t use contractions (don’t, can’t, won’t, etc) in formal writing like academic papers and business letters. Use them preferably in everyday and informal speech.
  • Don’t start a sentence with a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or) unless it’s necessary for clarity or to avoid ambiguity; try rephrasing instead
    • (for example, I love chocolate but I don’t like strawberry ice cream).
