Do Dangling Participles  Lie Down in Passive Voice with Commas?

How does a participle dangle? When do you use that pesky comma?Does Alexander lie down or lay down? What’s wrong with the passive voice? Is a semicolon half a colon?  Is it “it’s” or “its”? Should you split logs or infinitives? When do you spell out a number? How many sentences should a paragraph have? Is it legal to end a sentence with a preposition? Writing is more than the rules of grammar.

Punctuation clarifies what you have written. Let’s eat Grandma does not convey the same message as Let’s eat, Grandma.

Correct word use helps readers understand what you have written.

Whether you are writing the Great American Novel or an assignment for History 101, you should understand the rules.
