Grammar Guide

Comprehensive Guide to My Grammar Hubs
I was asked to create a comprehensive list of all of my grammar hub. Here's the list in alphabetical order.
How to Address a Card or Envelope
How To Build a Proper Sentence
Wow, I never knew that I made so many grammar mistakes. Thanks for all the hubs, Robin, keep them coming!
Thanks for the index! I get the urge to send it to people as a link all the time. :o) So, I just have to ask...in your first paragraph at the top, is the word "hub" a special plural form like "deer"? <wink, wink!>
I think this is a wonderful resource and I have just linked to if from my new writing hub
Thanks for all your fun articles, Robin! Keep them coming!
Besides that/which problems, my biggest grammar mistake was saying "different than" instead of "different from." "Than" should used with a comparative adjective or phrase, which "different" is not. The only way "different than" is correct is when you say something like, "that box is more different than other previous winners of the Ugly Present Contest were," because you are using "more" to make the phrase comparative.
I don't even belong to HubPages, but I visit here every so often because I enjoy chatting a bit about grammar now and then. Thanks! :)
Very cool. I hate commas (even though I write for a living). I seem to like to use them haphazardly. I'll go read your comma hub now and see if it helps.
Hi Susan,
The word "Indian" is a proper noun and is always capitalized. Cheers!
The indian went hunting. Would I always capitalize Indian? What if it were just in a list of words and not a sentence?
I should have done it a long time ago. Thanks for reading, Chuck!
Thanks Robin. Great index. I can bookmark this and save having to search through your hubs when I need some quick grammar guidance. Chuck
Hi Irina,
I would write the sentence: He, as well as his family, are available to assist; or he and his family are available to assist. Thanks!
He as well as his family (are or is) available to assist.

Always thought a grammar mishap was like the one who got run over by a reindeer. :) Oh, it's the "got run over" part. Thanks for all those nights after the kids were asleep typing out the helpful hints. I hope we are all duly appreciative. Cheers. By the way, do we Americans have anything as appropriate and fun as "cheers?"
