Writing Skills: Business Grammar Basics
Successful business writing requires a good understanding of the rules of grammar. These rules provide the 'nuts and bolts' for building effective business messages - from formal business proposals and reports to informal writing, such as daily e-mails. Attention to grammar can make a big difference in the results you get; but grammar is often viewed as a highly specific discipline with seemingly endless rules and guidelines. However, if you have a basic understanding of it, it'll go a long way in creating more effective and clear business messages.
Course Details:
This course provides foundational knowledge in business grammar. It focuses on developing an understanding of basic grammar skills rather than trying to cover all the grammatical rules a person may need. It describes the parts of speech, including a particular focus on nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, common usage errors - including often confused word pairs, misused verbs, and tricky idiomatic expressions. Sentence structure is also covered, with attention to subject-verb agreement, use of pronouns, antecedents, and correct use of modifiers.
