Seven Deadly Grammar Sins—Learn 'Em, Avoid 'Em (CollegeView.com)

<p>Maybe everyone splts infinitives now, I know I do, but if you are looking to get a good SAT score on the grammar part, don’t do it.</p>

<p>I and who are subject of a sentence (taking the nominative case, if you are in Latin, Greek or German), me and whom are objects of the sentence (taking the accusative case (or dative or ablative, depending upon the preposition)).</p>

<p>“Their objecting to some of my comments is not surprising.” The subject of this sentence is “objecting” (a gerund), thus it is “their”, not “they”, and “is” not “are”.</p>

<p>These questions are ALWAYS on the SATs. You used to be able to get the “Question of the day”. Do it, you’ll see. The SAT does not care whether “everybody does it”, the SAT cares only about what the correct way in which to write a sentence (not “the correct way which to write a sentence in.”).</p>

<p>As if I quote from a paper where there’s no period at the end of the quoted passage, I also put the punctuation outside the quote, otherwise I would be misrepresenting the quotation and giving the false impression that the quotation was the end of the author’s sentence and thought.</p>

<p>But foggetabout dem and doze – we all know rap-English is correct! “Bad” is now “good”.</p>
