Writing And Grammar

Gladys Said:

Do you think breaking grammar rules when writing novels or stories is a good thing?

We Answered:

It is all according to the message you are trying to convey and the story you are telling. It can be acceptable and for useful in supporting the mood or theme of a novel. In fact, there is a style of writing called "stream of consciousness" in which no punctuation or editing of any kind is used. This can be seen in the novel Naked Lunch. A novel or story can have many layers and meanings, like any other art form, and writing is an artform. The style of writing, including grammar and punctuation, can be used to help convey these meanings. Therefore, ultimately what is important is the author's vision and what he/she feels is necessary to express it.

Todd Said:

How can I improve my grammar and my pronunciation and writing?

We Answered:

-read books in english, underline words you dont know and look the up in dictionary

-watch dvds in english, subtitles might be very helping, when you find a nice phrase/sentence pause the dvd, write it down and pronounce it comparing with original pronounciation

-listen to english, buy some cds with excersises or watch english channels like bbc and cnn

-try to think in english, therefor you will need to construct full sentences often and get used to it

-make model tests so you know which tasks to expect and can do them without wasting time on understanding the task itself

good luck

Where may I find a site that helps with learning proper grammar and writing perfect grammar?

Below is a link to _The Elements of Style_ by William Strunk on Bartelby.com. This is not a terribly exciting site, but it is an excellent handbook.
