Grammar Exercises

As mentioned in class, I would like you to try each of these grammar exercises, which represent the most common Writing 1 errors.  Complete them, and check your answers (all available through the site).  On any exercises where you don't do well, be sure to use The Writer's Reference to research the topic, and be sure you are clear on it for future use.
