Grammar

Perfect Grammar???

Don’t really study grammar rules. Instead study grammar by reading, and then writing. This is how to practice putting phrases together.

1. Never finish a sentence with a preposition. (Nobody cares about this rule)

Which store did you go to?  (this is technically incorrect)

2. Yes, He did

No, He didn’t

It isn’t a big deal, if you say:    Only the second part matters, to be clear.

Yes, he didn’t.

or

No, He did.
