The Standard Deviants look at sentence problems, including sentence fragments, comma splices, and run-on sentences. Then we examine common grammatical traps, such as tense shifts, vague pronoun references, and faulty parallels. We'll wrap things up with a look at acceptable grammar "errors"—like the use of contractions, splitting infinitives, and using prepositions at the end of sentences. Topics include: Sentence Fragments, Comma Splices, Run-On Sentences, Tense Shifts, Vague Pronoun References, Faulty Parallels, and Acceptable Errors.
