Essay 1
P2e-Do not use
commas to set off
restrictive or mildly
parenthical
elements.
W4c- In most
contexts, avoid
slang, regional
expressions, and
nonstandard
English.
Restrictive elements are modifiers or appositives
that restrict the meaning of the nouns they
follow. Because they are essential to the meaning
of the sentence, they are not set off with
commas.
My high school,
definitely, did
not prepare me
for that.

Slang is an informal and sometimes private
vocabulary that expresses the solidarity of a
group such as teenagers, rock musicians, or
football fans; it is subject to more rapid
change than standard English. For example,
the slang teenagers use to express approval
changes every few years; cool, groovy, neat,
awesome, phat, and sweet have replaced one
another within the last three decades.
Sometimes slang becomes so widespread that
it is accepted as standard vocabulary. Jazz, for
example, started as slang but is now generally
accepted to describe a style of music.
Besides all of
the changes in
this transition,
going to college
was great
because I could
finally start
working on my
future career.
Besides all of the

career.
Although slang has a certain vitality, it is a
code that not everyone understands, and it is
very informal. Therefore, it is inappropriate in
most written work.
Essay 2
G3a- Make
pronouns and
antecedents

Many pronouns have antecedents, nouns or
pronouns to which they refer. A pronoun and
its antecedent agree when they are either
singular or both plural.

in the courses.
S7b- use a
variety of
sentence
openings
Most sentences in English begin with the
subject, move to the verb, and continue to an
object, with modifiers tucked in along the way
or put at the end. For the most part, such
sentences are fine. Put too many of them in a
row, however, and they become monotonous.
What do they do? They help the
students…
G1a- Subjectverb
combinations
In the present tense, verbs agree with their
subjects in number (singular or plural) and in
person (first, second, or third). The presenttense ending -s (or -es) is used on a verb if its
subject is third-person singular; otherwise the
verb takes no ending. Consider, for example,
the present-tense forms of the verb love, given
at the beginning of the chart.

that he or she is
undecided they

The verb bevaries from this pattern; unlike any
other verb, it has special forms in both the
present and the past tense. These forms
appear at the end of the chart.
G6a- Run-on
sentences

have not been joined correctly. An independent
