ARE YOU GUILTY OF THESE GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN YOUR MANUSCRIPT?

If you can admit to making common grammar errors, fret not, you're not alone. In fact, you are among 95 percent of individuals who do the same, according to J/P/Schoemer Communications.

Hyphenations.

Use a hyphen when it comes before a noun, and never after an –ly word. This is known as a “compound modifier.”

That and which.

Nonessential description uses “which,” while essential information uses “that.”

Hopping from singular to plural.

Using “her or his” is the appropriate reference for a singular character, and “their” represents a plural version.
