 INTRODUCTION
While grammar is something we learn in the early years of our
education, there are so many rules and regulations when it comes
to grammar, we cant know them all by heart. If youre a writer or
simply have to write something on certain occasions, you might
want to reach for a grammar guide, to make sure that your writing
is on point. And since there are so many aspects to grammar, there
is more than one kind of a grammar guide, to make the process of
learning and checking grammar faster and easier.

Thankfully theres a large variety of grammar guides that are

available to lead us through our writing process. Below youll find a
helpful list of resources from https://prowritingpartner.com/ that
will help you through your journey with grammar.

THESAURUSES
AND
DICTIONARIES
Dictionaries are crucial for
knowing the meanings of each
word, and for better
understanding of each word.
Thesauruses, however, can be
considered as additional
information about words, with
synonyms, antonyms, idioms and
phrases included.

MYTHS
Grammar myths are what we call
grammar rules that once used to
mean something, and now they
are completely irrelevant.
Grammar changes through time,
and yet so many people dont
know which grammar rules they
should stick to, and which ones
they should discard immediately.
Here are a couple of useful guides
that give you insight into the rules
of modern grammar.
