Reviews for English Grammar: 100 Tragically Common Mistakes (and How to Correct Them)

This wonderful, clever little book is chock-full of hilarious explanations and corrections for all the most common grammatical errors--rules I am still fuzzy about after years of writing, and errors I see over and over in student writing, all over social media, and, shockingly, even in advertisements and professional print! Sean Williams can help you be a better writer! --Charles Anthony Silvestri, Lyricist, composer, and author of A Silver Thread (GIA 2019)
