Grammar for Creative Writing - Online Course - Community Learning - 10:00-11:30

About this course

About this course

This course aims to help you perk up your punctuation and tame your tenses, so that your writing is as clear and effective as it can be. This is Not Scary Grammar in a supportive environment which works with what you already know as well as what needs some practice.   

We will look at some of the most common grammar bugbears, and where spellcheck won’t be able to help. We will review the use of apostrophes (its/it’s), choosing the right tense, how to get speech marks right for dialogue and how to sort easily-muddled homophones (pear/pair).

Please bring a pen and paper.

As this course is online, a suitable device such as laptop, smart phone, tablet or computer will be required to access the course.  Zoom will be used for the live sessions and the link will be sent to you once your enrolment has been completed.
