 Writing tips in this lesson

✓ Writing Tip-1: An Article, Possessive, Demonstrative (this/that) + Noun + of + Noun

✓ Writing Tip-2: Pronouns make double possessives after the preposition “of”
(of + mine/ours/yours/hers/his/theirs)
✓ Writing Tip-3: Possessive Adj + Noun = Possessive Pronoun (To save repetition)
✓ Writing Tip-4: In modern English, nouns do not make double possessives.
✓ Writing Tip-5: Drop “s” after the apostrophe for plural common nouns.
✓ Writing Tip-6: When
Subject = The object of a verb/ preposition → Use Reflexive Pronouns
✓ Writing Tip-7: To bring more emphasis on the doer of an action → Use Emphatic
pronouns before or after the main verb.
✓ Writing Tip-8: Emphatic Pronouns are not separated by commas.
✓ Writing Tip-9: Can (present/future) + verb = Is, am, are + able to + verb
