Your computer shows that you have used passive voice (again), but you thought you were being fairly assertive.

You’re told you have a split infinitive, so you reach for the ibuprofen!

A co-worker tells you that you have a dangling participle, and you run to the restroom to check!

If any of these situations have happened to you (or to employees in your organization), please call us at Grammar Plus!  We will teach a one-day grammar and business writing workshop for up to 25 participants in your workplace. Grammar Plus classes are humorous, easy to understand, and very effective.  Participants will be actively involved in their own learning but will not be corrected in public or put on the spot!

Participants will learn where the commas go (and why) and how to use a semicolon.  They will learn to compose emails that don’t look like teenagers’ Instant Messages!  They will find out why Neither of his sisters lives in San Diego is correct and why Him and his boss went to a meeting isn’t!  Finally, they will discover that passive voice can be used effectively, and that it is OK to occasionally split an infinitive!
