1️⃣0️⃣ Tips to Improve Your Language

Here are ten practical tips to help you improve your writing

1️⃣ Mind Apostrophes

Apostrophes are used for possessive cases and contractions. It's important to know the difference:

Possessive: "its" (belonging to it), "their" (belonging to them).
Contractions: "it's" (it is), "they're" (they are).

2️⃣ Use Commas After Introductory Phrases

Commas help separate introductory elements from the main part of the sentence, making it clearer:

Example: "After a hard day at work, Jean loves to relax in the backyard."

3️⃣ Memorise Homophones and Endings

Homophones sound alike but have different meanings, and understanding suffix rules aids in correct spelling:

Homophones: "too" vs. "two", "your" vs. "you're", "accept" vs. "except".
Endings: Use "-able" when a whole root word is used (e.g., "fashionable"), and "-ible" if a word doesn’t make sense without the ending (e.g., "divisible").

4️⃣ Articles: Definite or Indefinite

Articles help specify nouns:

Indefinite ('a/an'): Used for general references, e.g., "Someone called a doctor."
Definite ('the'): Used for specific references, e.g., "Someone called the doctor living next door."

5️⃣ Appositives

Appositives are phrases that provide additional information about a noun and are often set off by commas if non-essential:

Essential: "The popular sitcom Brian O'Brien was cancelled after seven years."
Non-essential: "Brian O'Brien, the popular sitcom, was cancelled after seven years."

6️⃣ That, Who, and Which

Use commas to set off non-essential clauses that add extra information but are not crucial to the sentence's meaning:

Essential: "No one trusts politicians who lie."
Non-essential: "Mr. Trout, who is wearing the red shirt, announced his mayoral candidacy this week."

7️⃣Use of Semicolons

Semicolons link closely related independent clauses, showing a relationship between them:

Example: "The family had never seen Mrs. Baker so mad; everyone thought the maid was going to have a heart attack."

8️⃣ Countable and Non-Countable Nouns

Different quantifiers are used for countable and non-countable nouns:

Countable: Use "many" for items like "dress, house, car".
Non-countable: Use "much/a lot" and "little/few" for items like "money, snow, time".

9️⃣ Vocabulary Building Techniques

Expanding your vocabulary improves language skills. Engage with diverse reading materials:

Read books, magazine articles, and newspaper columns.

1️⃣0️⃣ Spellchecking and Proofreading

If you do not use word processing software like Microsoft Word, you can also use online spellcheckers like spellchecker.net/spellcheck and quietly read the text aloud to catch more mistakes.
