Course 1: Grammar and Punctuation

Do you need to review English grammar? Have you forgotten the grammar you once studied? If so, this course is perfect for you.

The first course in this specialization is a refresher on some tools needed for good writing. It will help prepare you for the other courses. You will need about 10 hours to complete this first course. Writing is a skill and to learn a skill well, you need to practice.

Then you’ll be able to remember the rules you learn in this course when you start writing essays in the next course.

After completing this course, you will be able to:
– identify the correct verb tenses to use
– use commas effectively
– utilize several different sentence types
– write more effectively in English
