Extra Credit: Grammar Practice

I never really struggled with grammatical issues in an essay before due to the fact that I always read over my work in hopes to make it sound as perfect as possible and easily understandable. Despite this, there still have been times when I look over my essay and I find a few grammatical errors or just so happen to miss one in my final draft. Due to this, I personally believe grammatical errors are inevitable unless an author takes time to reread his or her work with a purpose of catching these mistakes. Some examples of common grammatical errors include: apostrophe misplacements, run-on sentences, pronoun disagreements, and comma placement issues. All these mistakes can greatly affect the meaning of a sentence even leave readers confused and lost about what they just read. Although I noted that I rarely make grammatical errors, I might have stretched the truth a little. This is because I realized that I do happen to repeatedly make one grammatical error in my essays. As I reflect on my past work, I notice I struggle with keeping a constant expression of time. In other words, I alternate from future tense to present tense, present tense to past tense, past tense to future tense, and vice versa. Thankfully, there are other grammar practice assignments similar to the one I did today that can help me with this endeavor and allow me to fix this mistake. Although this assignment may have taken quite a bit of time, it was worth it in the long run. I learned much about proper grammar and even strengthened my own knowledge in this subject.
