GS 090 - Intensive Grammar Application2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits Course Description This course builds on foundational grammar skills to improve common errors in academic writing and speaking. It includes the present, the past, the perfect, the future, modals and modal-like expressions, nouns and pronouns, gerunds and infinitives, noun clauses, indirect speech, the passive, relative clauses, conditionals, and connecting ideas. Emphasis is given to avoiding and identifying most common grammar usage mistakes with explicit application of target structures in writing.
