GRAMMAR POINTS USEFUL FOR THIS SEMESTER

Everytime we start a new unit, take the time to visit these
recommended pages with some grammar points.
These grammar information will not be avaluated, rather, it will be used
by you during the course of this semester. As you review any of these
pages and find questions, you can ask me about them during the SKYPE
section for questions and answers. (Q&A section)
