The double space after a period is a relic of the typewriter era when monospaced fonts required extra spacing for readability. However, in modern writing, especially with proportional fonts, a single space is now the standard. Most style guides, including APA, MLA, Chicago, and AP, recommend using a single space after a period. Microsoft Word and Google Docs even flag double spaces as errors. That said, some people still prefer double spacing out of habit or personal preference. If you’re writing for a specific audience, it’s always best to check their preferred formatting rules. #GrammarLesson #WritingTips #GrammarRules #SpacingMatters #EnglishWriting #PunctuationRules #writing #MLA #WritingMistakes #LearnGrammar #GrammarHelp #GrammarCheck #EnglishTeacher #EditingTips #GrammarNerd #Proofreading #SingleSpace #WritingSkills

People often misuse self pronouns like #myself, #yourself, and #himself when they should simply say me or I. Just like the confusion between who and whom, these reflexive pronouns trip people up all the time! In this lesson, I break down when to use self pronouns correctly and when to stick with me or I. If you’ve ever wondered whether to say John and myself went to the store or John and I went to the store—this video is for you! #Englishgrammar #meorI #Iorme #G#GrammarLessonEnglishGrammar #ESLLesson #GrammarRules #LearnEnglish #EnglishTeacher #Education #WritingTips #GrammarMistakes #ESL #LanguageLearning #ReflexivePronouns #SelfPronouns #WhoVsWhom #CommonMistakes #SpeakBetterEnglish

In this quick grammar lesson, I’m reminding you that I is the only pronoun that can be used with the verb am in English! Many students struggle with choosing between am, are, is, do, and does, so let’s practice together. Examples: ✅ I am excited about this lesson. ❌ You am excited about this lesson. When using am, it must always follow I! Need help with do and does?

Reminder- #Then is not one of the FANBOYS conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) and does not traditionally join two independent clauses. However, then can sometimes function like a #coordinatingconjunction when it links two complete thoughts (#independentclauses). #Grammar often has exceptions and gray areas. Then doesn’t behave like a #fanboys conjunction, but its role in linking sentences or ideas can still require a comma. So use the “complete sentence test” when in doubt. “then” as a conjunction: #EnglishGrammar #GrammarLesson #ESLLesson #EnglishAsASecondLanguage #ELLStrategies #WritingTips #GrammarRules #LearnEnglish #CommasMatter #PunctuationTips #CommonMistakes #WritingSkills #EnglishWriting #ESLGrammar #GrammarHelp #TeachingGrammar #MiddleSchoolELA #EnglishTeacher #LanguageLearning

The simple placement of commas and apostrophes can completely change the meaning of a sentence. In this lesson, I break down two important grammar points: 1. Commas for clarity: • “Ms. James, Lewis wants to see you.” → Lewis wants to see you. • “Ms. James Lewis wants to see you.” → James Lewis is the person who wants to see you. That small comma placement changes the entire context of the message! 2. Apostrophes with last names ending in S: • Correct: Jones’s book or Jones’ book • Incorrect: Removing the S before adding an apostrophe is wrong. You must keep the last name intact and add the apostrophe after—whether you add an extra S after it or not is a style choice, but you cannot remove the original S from the name. Mastering commas and apostrophes can transform your writing and prevent confusion! Let’s get those punctuation marks in the right places.

Many students have been told they can’t start a sentence with because—but that’s not true! The key is knowing where to place the comma. If you begin with because, you must follow it with a dependent clause, then use a comma before the independent clause to form a correct complex sentence. In this lesson, I break down the common mistakes and show how to correctly use because at the beginning of a sentence.Example: ❌ Because I said so, you must listen. (Incorrect) ❌ Because, I said so, you must listen. (Incorrect) ✔️ Because I explained it clearly, my students now understand. (Correct!)
