     The main points of the article are about the 7 grammar rules that everyone who writes or speaks in front of people should know to help them act more educated. The main points should help many people in the way they write. I think that these grammar rules are a good idea and I agree with what this person wrote. The topic that I struggle with the most is without a doubt verb problems. I struggle with the verbs lay and lie most of all. I usually get the two mixed up and it frustrates me. I also use me, myself, and I in the wrong context occasionally. I put my friend and me from time to time.

* I'm tired, so I need to go lay lie down.
* The fish laid lay on the counter, fileted and ready to broil.

     These two examples are the perfect sentences for the mistakes that I make. I seem to always insert lay instead of lie and I always get counted off points for that mistake. After I read over the passage that I get back I can see where I went wrong. I need to read over my work more often to check and make sure that all my grammar and writing mistakes are taken care of so that I can get all the possible points possible. It's important to revise your work so that you can get a better understanding of the proper technique to write grammatically correct.
