Grammar for Business Writing
Common grammar mistakes can cause chinks in your otherwise perfect writing. Learn how to choose your words and use them right for smoother communication.
Good grammar is the foundation of clear writing and clear writing is essential for workplace communication. In this course, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the English grammar through engaging mini-lectures, followed by skills-practice session for every component. We begin with an introduction into the three different types of sentences, and common issues in writing clear sentences. Then, we focus on the words: how to ensure subject-verb agreement, tense agreement, voice agreement and more. Finally, we end the day by learning about the functions of different types of punctuation in the English grammar, capitalisation and hyphenation rules.
In this course, modern issues related to the English language will also be discussed, such as using gender-neutral pronouns and whether it is all right to begin sentences with ‘and’ or ‘but’. This course will be beneficial for anyone who desires to write and present confidently in clear English.
We aim to provide managers, executives and non-executives with a robust and thorough understanding of the English Grammar to write confidently at work and equip managers, executives and non-executives with skills to identify and correct their own grammatical errors and those of their colleagues.
After this workshop, you will be able to:
