When do you use:

• Collective Nouns?
• Replacer Nouns?
• Singular Indefinite Pronouns?

We often use parts of speech, contractions, and other types of grammar in our writing and daily communication with others. Let’s face it, knowing how to use grammar correctly can become puzzling: 

• “Did I use its correctly?” 
• When do I use they’re?”
• “Where do I put the comma in this sentence?” 

This can get confusing, and even embarrassing if you make a mistake and your work goes public, especially if you are a blogger, teacher, or marketer!
