Confirm Grammar ♡

Normally, English grade schools commonly make these mistakes in grammar. Because they've never known them! So this page is to help kids to understand how grammar actually works! In easy steps!

1. In grade schools, kids are often taught to write 2 quotation marks (") but in countries such as Australia and New Zealand we typically use 1. Except for stating a quote or poem (sometimes what's already been stated). Normally, kids use 2 to make it clear what is an apostrophe and what is a quotation mark. But only in America do they use 2. Usually, it is perfectly fine to stick with 2.

2. Children such as I at least 2 months ago, don't know that during a new paragraph we have something called an indent. Which means we have 4-6 spaces before we start writing our new paragraph. But a new chapter is an exception, as we don't use indents at the start of chapters.

3. In books, have you ever noticed that quite soon or before they start writing a quotation mark or new speech there's a new paragraph? That's because in writing a book or narrative story we always have a new paragraph relatively close to the speech. Unless a person is speaking multiple times we do not have a new paragraph. And yes, like I explained before you do need to use an indent before you start this new paragraph before starting to write a speech/quote.
