Firstly you should learn to spell Grammar.

[Bão]

May I ask what grade you're in?

I'll correct your post. Always capitalize your "I's" if you're talking about yourself and the first letter of the first word of the sentence. Use an apostrophe with "doesn't." You also want to put a comma before "because or cause."

[BarCode]

Uhh, heres a few tips?

-All sentences start with a capital letter and end with a period, exclamation mark or question mark
-Try not to use shortened words (sorry instead of sry, thank you instead of ty etc..)
-Learn the difference between words like "there","their" and "they're"
-A comma is normally used before the word "but"
Example: I want to come over, but I can't

School is pretty much the only place I've learned grammar. Aside from that, I don't know.

[Anarchist]

well it doesn't really help me, and I go class all the time only like once a month I cut and go do some stuff that I shouldn't discuss .

Read a lot. T'is what I do

[Anarchist]

Any books you would recommend me to buy/download/borrow to help improve my grammar and vocabulary.

Any book will help improve grammar.

You're not going to get anywhere by skipping the classes that teach the things you want to learn.

It isn't really my fault that the teachers ask like pricks and does stupid things that pisses me off. I even reported her to the female princples and they didnt do anything.

[Mr. Hobo]

Glad you're trying to improve yourself.

Read anything, trust me when I say it helps. I read half an hour every night to help me fall asleep and I'm a god when it comes to English.

Your age would help me* suggest something good to read but generally start with somethung light and read a bit everyday, gradually increasing the lenght of a reading session. Once you finish a book buy a slightly harder one and continue increasing the difficulty until you find a level you're comfortable reading at.

*Thanks Barcode for proof reading my post and helping out the a mistake

Big feckin' deal.

The teachers aren't being paid to be your friend, they're paid to teach you.

Your family isn't paying for you to be their friends, they're paying for you to learn.


On thing I learned in high school is that you're never going to love all your teachers; the best thing to do is suck it up and pass that class as soon as you can so you'll never have to deal with them ever again.

It's all a part of school. Just suck it up and deal with it like the rest of us. D:

10th grade? You can study for the writing section of the SAT - that has a lot of grammar questions.

[cara]

Aha. Grade 10? Isn't it a tad sad how a 12 year old has better writing skills then you?
I dont mean to be mean .. but hey, how can you blame me, dear? -cries- D:

Iono. Just take time to re-read your posts. Preview Post is there for a reson, dearest .. o.o

You're age would help me

lol, the additives in the taxes is what I was referring to.

[Justin]

I go (used) to High School. Actually 10th grade is what I'm in. Its public. And I'm not that bad with grammar. And *slaps* shame on you for saying your parents don't pay for anything.

There isnt anything to grammar, just read your posts before posting.. And do that everytime and eventually it will come naturally.

[Anarchist]

ah ok. its understandable foogie, but Ill learn to speaker english better in the future, after I improve my spanish vocab.

[Mr. Hobo]

*cough*

Correction: I'm a god at English when I apply myself

[dolphinbomb]

Get a grandmother who corrects you on grammar and spelling for 10 years.
Best way I know how. It works, too!

[Melchoire]

Any books you would recommend me to buy/download/borrow to help improve my grammar and vocabulary.

Angels and Demons by: Dan Brown Im waiting for my library to stock up on it so I can read it

[Silk]

Just post on Codex. Seriously, just read the posts everyone makes, and take example from those who write with correct spelling/grammar. Over time, you will just learn naturally, and if reading isn't your thing, it's a great way to have fun whilst learning!
