• If I am not sure whether to use a singular verb or a plural verb with a collective noun, I can consult a grammar guide or look up the specific collective noun to see if it is considered singular or plural.
• A strategy for identifying whether to use who, whom, or whose is to determine if the pronoun is functioning as the subject, object, or possessive in the sentence. "Who" is used as the subject, "whom" is used as the object, and "whose" is used to show possession.
• In order to figure out whether I need semicolons to separate items in a series, I can examine if the items are grammatically independent and of equal importance. If they are, semicolons can be used to separate them.
• In order to identify a compound adjective, I can look for two or more words that are used together to describe a noun. These words usually come before the noun they modify and are not separated by a comma.
