What are your plans to improve your grammar and writing skills?

I like grammar because with it you can write and understand things better. During this semester, I’ve learnt many things, but the most meaningful for me was punctuation. This is a very helpful skill that everyone needs to know to improve, and get a good essay or whatever you want to write. Every time that I write in Spanish I don’t pay attention in the use of commas, semicolons, periods… I just write. Unfortunately, I do the same in English, so this class has been very useful to me to pay special attention in punctuation. Now, I’m aware of not making mistakes such as run together sentence or fragment. I believe that reading is a good technique to improve your writing skills; only if you pay attention to the way something is written. In order to get better in writing skills, I’ll continue reading and reviewing punctuation stuff to not forget about them.
