What is the part of the brain associated with spelling/writing/grammar called?

We Answered:

It's not quite that simple. First, this is a sign of good general intelligence. One of the key areas of the brain involved in language synthesis is Wernicke's area.

Who can I contact for assistance with my written grammar?

I think the answer will depend very much on how old you are. If you're still at school then I would suggest that you bite the bullet and ask your English teachers for some extra assistance or resources to help with your grammar.
I've you've left school already, the answer would depend on whether or not you are employed - and if so, what kind of company you work for. If you have a job in which good grammar would be an asset, then I would suggest you speak to your boss, or to your Human Resource team, and explain that you'd like the opportunity to improve your grammar. Depending on your company, they might arrange for you to attend an evening class or something similar.
If you've left school and you don't have the kind of job in which this extra education would be possible, then it will surely be more difficult for you to improve your grammar. The simplest way, as with most things, is experience. Therefore the more books and newspapers you read, the more exposure to proper grammer you will get and the better yours will be as a result. I can assure you that if you only read articles on the internet there is a very strong chance that you will continue to pick up poor grammar. True authors who publish books do - almost always - have good grammar. So read books. True columnists who write in newspapers do - almost always - have good grammar. So read newspapers.
It's also possible that you can find a suitable course in written English in your local area - but if you've left school already this is going to cost you money. I'm afraid that I have no experience to share with such a class though.

Good luck.

CBSE-X, Reading, Grammar & Writing Section?

We Answered:

That really is the question, because few aspects of English make new speakers of the language quite so much anguish. People who are used to clear, precise grammatical rules find the challenges English grammar can be both funny and, often, puzzling.

The fact that native English speakers themselves often have little grammatical knowledge does not really help either; they are quite prepared to justify an unusual word order, a totally illogical verb ending or the vagaries of spelling with a shrug of the shoulders and a 'Well, that's just the way it is' kind of comment.

You can also get more information on the same by just visiting the given link. You can give the grammar test to check your level.
