When Bad Grammar Happens to Good People: How to Avoid Common Errors in English

Do you hesitate between who and whom, confuse affect and effect, or stumble over lay and lie? When Bad Grammar Happens to Good People is designed to help you overcome these common problems and gain confidence in both written and spoken English.

Because how you use language influences how others see you—personally and professionally—this book focuses on correcting frequent errors that can undermine communication. Clear, practical, and approachable, it serves as both a reference and a learning program.

After a quick review of essential grammar principles, the book is organized by error type—such as confusing pronouns or mixing up words that sound alike. Each section includes examples and short tests to reinforce what you’ve learned, allowing you to study sequentially or skip to the topics most relevant to you.

Written in a lively, conversational style, this is far from a dull grammar textbook. Instead, it is a practical guide to using English correctly and avoiding mistakes that can hold you back in work, school, or everyday life.
