Brush up your grammar and punctuation

First impressions last. That’s why it’s crucial that all your customer communications use correct English. After all, how do you feel when you read a report, website or social media post that contains grammar mistakes or typos? Not impressed?

On this practical workshop, you’ll get a refresher on the rules of punctuation and grammar.  You’ll also learn to identify common errors – and see how you can fix them.  In small groups, you’ll have the opportunity to apply the rules to correct mistakes.

For example, we’ll look at: What goes into a sentence? What’s a quick way to check that a sentence is grammatically correct? When do you use ‘that’ and ‘which’? What’s the difference between ‘affect’ and ‘effect’? What’s best practice in writing numbers and dates?

Take away the confidence that you understand and can apply the rules of correct English grammar and punctuation. A professional proofreader (an ex-Irish Times sub-editor) will share her skills so you can write more confidently and correctly.
