In case you haven’t noticed, each week I post some writing and grammar exercises—a easy, self-guided writing class. Check out For Writers and Teachers, under Resources. I have a growing email list of teachers who receive once-a-week notes on using Sin and Syntax in the classroom. Please feel free to join us.
I try not to be a grammar pedagogue here, using this blog mostly for thoughts on writing. But I’m feeling a pent-up desire to go grammatical. Next post: One of my biggest pet peeves and how I wish our Nobel-Peace-Prize-winning president didn’t mash his pronouns.

Connie –
This week in French I’ve been struggling with tout/s/te/tes. I think you’ve studied French, and I think you must intimately appreciate the particulars of this word. Much as the English all, tout can be an adjective, adverb, noun, or pronoun. In French, though, there are different spelling challenges for each one. AARRRGGGHH! I must say it’s easier to understand the difference now that I have a solid foundation for the English parts of speach – so thank you for that! A bientôt!

Nothing like French, where you have all those endings that have to be right, to make you learn your grammar!
Bonne chance!
