National Grammar Day!

Happy National Grammar Day!
I know some of you will smirk at this, but here's the truth: grammar can be interesting and fun! Okay, sure, learning grammar can be a little frustrating in the beginning. You're always asking yourself "why is it this and not this?" or simply shouting "why, oh, why?!" But, let's get down to it. When you understand something better, isn't it just cool! I mean, sentence structure, word order, verb tense, adverbs, gerunds, all of that can be so fascinating and, as I said a second ago, FUN. Stop rolling your eyes and give it a try. Visit the National Grammar Day website for a list of grammar and language blogs. Check out some really cool grammar game sites like the ones on BBC Skillswise. And there's Grammar Girl to help answer all your grammar questions. So, get out and celebrate! It's National Grammar Day!
