Tutorial on correct grammar! [The Basics]

[Quinlan]

You capitalize it you literally call the person Mom. Like your mom if you never call her by the first name. You don't when you say something like " Your mom'.

"1. My Mom says Bill Gates sits on his computer too long

2. My Mom, says Bill Gates, sits on his computer too long

See what I mean?"

So is this correct?

"1. My Mom says Bill Gates sits on his computer too long

2. My Mom, says Bill Gates, sits on his computer too long

See what I mean?"

So is this correct?

If thats how you usually call your mom than yes, but if you call your mom mother than no that is wrong.

It's a good tutorial, though i don't really need it that much.
But it's still great for others, who might have difficulties with the English grammar!

You should add the thing about "an" and "a".
When the first letter, in the next word after "an" or "a" has a vocalsound, it should be "an".
When it doesn't, it should be "a".

So like:
"Can I have an apple?"
"Looks, there's a turtle!"
"I've had an exboyfriend"

It's a good tutorial, though i don't really need it that much.

You didn't capitalied "I".
You're either not familiare with basic grammar, or just lazy.
I can't tell.

"1. My Mom says Bill Gates sits on his computer too long

2. My Mom, says Bill Gates, sits on his computer too long

See what I mean?"

So is this correct?

When you're using it as possessive it's lower case.
When you're using it to personally address someone it's capital.
This goes for mom/dad/uncle/aunt/cousin/etc.


Exception:

If thats how you usually call your mom than yes, but if you call your mom mother than no that is wrong.

You're kidding me, right? You have no right to bash on his capitalization when your spelling is that of a 3rd grader.
Even if you were just typing fast, he could've been doing the exact same thing.

Grammar can't always be perfect. Like someone already said, there is always room for improvement.
