Week after week after week, I continue to screw up more than half of the questions, some of them, "horribly wrong." Reviewing the grammar lessons feels like closing the barn door after the horse has gone. Vocabulary is hit or miss at best. This exercise begins to feel like the actor's nightmare: on stage nude and without a script. Help! Please.
A new set of self-marked weekend writing challenges was sent by email to Premium subscribers.
Once you’ve completed the exercise, there’s a list of grammar topics tested. If you have questions please post them under the most suitable grammar topic (if it’s related to a specific point), or here or on the QandA forum (for general questions). Don’t forget you can add any of the lessons to your notebook(s) and then kwiz against them to strengthen the areas where you discovered you were weak.
Pssst! Would you like to write about a particular topic? We’d love some suggestions!
