Article Response #3

I found these two articles to be very interesting to read because they are common mistakes I make when I am writing. The first article entitled, 7 Grammar Rules you Should pay Attention to, was very funny to read. There was definitely a sense of humor brought out in this text. I related to the first section which was, The Subjunctive. It seems odd to use, but now it makes more sense to me because it is a lot like Spanish subjunctive. A specific tense is to be used with words such as if or wish. The other section I focused on was the dreaded semicolon. I definitely try to avoid it at all cost because it is just strange. I would much rather form two sentences instead.


 The second article was 7 Bogus Grammar 'Errors' you Don't Need to Worry About. I enjoyed the section about not ending a sentence with a preposition. The reason why I was focused on this part of the article is because my dad likes to call me out on this every time. I find it extremely frustrating and difficult to master because not many people actually use it correctly. A common example that I use a lot is, "What are we here for?". It sounds and looks much different when it's written out on paper than when it is actually said out loud.
