When I was in high school, I was incredibly fortunate to have taken a class called Structure of the English Language that taught me grammar basics. I thought it might be helpful to share the little that I know for folks who would either like a refresher or who didn’t have the same opportunity to learn that I did.

Understanding how sentences are constructed and when to use certain punctuation can go a long way in helping produce cleaner drafts.

To quote my old English teacher, every sentence can be boiled down to basic parts. All else is window dressing...

the examples used in this post come from THE FACELESS THING WE ADORE, @stopithester's absolutely fantastic, Stoker-nominated debut. If you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for??
