How to Address a Letter
There are some things you must include when addressing formal or business letters. They are critical when you want to impress the recipient and get a quick response.
Amongst vs. Among: The Difference
“Among” is usually used in the US (American English), whereas “amongst” is commonly used in Britain (British English).
The Differences Between “How are You Doing?” and “How are You?”
The two phrases typically sound the same. But do you know that there’s a significant difference between “how are you?” and “how are you doing?”
Rules of Using “Not Only But Also”
So, when you need to connect clauses that are complete sentences themselves, a comma is inserted to separate them. But when used to link nouns, a comma mustn’t be inserted.
Using a Comma Before “Such As”
If “such as” is a part of the essential clause, you don’t need to use a comma. After removing the part of the sentence that begins with “such as,” if the meaning does not change, you should use commas.
“A Unique” or “An Unique”?
The ideal rule is that “a” should be used before words with consonant sounds at the beginning and “an” before words with vowel sounds at the beginning.
The definition of a rhetorical question
A rhetorical question is a question that doesn’t expect an answer. It’s a figure of speech that usually comes as a question to emphasize a point, rather than to elicit a response.
