Introduction

The goal of written or spoken communication is to express yourself clearly and effectively. To achieve that goal, you need to use words and phrases correctly. If you fail in that goal, what you say or write may not be taken seriously; even worse, you may convey ideas that are different from what you intend.

Thats where this workbook comes in. It will help you brush up on the style and grammar skills that will make a difference for you personally and professionally. For example, maybe you:

Picture 4 Are enrolled in a class that requires writing or speaking

Picture 5 Need to ensure that a business report is error-free

Picture 6 Must deliver a public presentation

Picture 7 Want to post a blog that might be read by anyone around the world

Picture 8 Aim to write a resume that highlights your outstanding qualities

In any of these cases, having a good grasp of grammar and style rules will help you succeed. In a world where written communication is more important than ever, having a solid understanding of the fundamentals isnt just important; its crucial.

The Only Grammar & Style Workbook Youll Ever Need helps you test your knowledge of the necessary terms for understanding and using correct grammar, the important rules and their exceptions, and all the most common writing errors. While you dont need to have a copy of TheOnly Grammar Book Youll Ever Need to use this book, each exercise shows where you can find further information on a given topic in that book.

By completing the exercises in this workbook and evaluating your results, youll have a greater understanding of your writing strengths and weaknesses and will develop the know-how to communicate clearly and effectively in almost any situation.

Jump right in. Enjoy the exercises and learn from them. Youre going at your own pace, and, best of all, no grades are involved!
