Meet Ethan, a high school junior preparing for his college admissions essay. However, he struggles with grammar—a predicament his older sister, Maya, an English major, notices. One evening, Maya joins Ethan at the dining table, her face beaming with a mission. 'Subject-verb agreement is crucial; the numbers should always match.' Maya begins, pointing at a sentence Ethan scribbled. Ethan nods, reworking his sentence. Maya then highlights comma usage. 'Commas separate elements, like items in a list, and clauses in a compound sentence,' she advises. Ethan's eyebrows lift in understanding. She then moves on to dangling modifiers, demonstrating how misplaced words can completely alter a sentence's meaning. Ethan chuckles, recognizing his past errors. Pronouns are next on Maya's list: 'Ensure your pronoun clearly refers to a specific noun,' she says. Ethan's pen dances on the paper, revising another sentence. Finally, Maya discusses the proper use of Active and Passive voice, explaining their usage depends on a sentence's focus. Ethan's face lights up, the fog around grammar rules lifting. Days pass, and Ethan's understanding of grammar deepens. His essay now flows seamlessly, carrying his unique voice and story. The college admissions officers would indeed have a treat reading it—all thanks to Maya, the Grammar Guide.
