Understanding And Using English Grammar

English grammar is a topic that truly frustrates many people. Regardless of educational level, people or age, grammar and spelling seem to baffle many people. And if someone has a learning disability like dyslexia, using correct grammar seems like an almost impossible feat. Using correct grammar can be difficult for those who have English as their mother language, but for those who speak other languages, English and it's complexities can be especially confusing. While a dictionary can be helpful, it will not give answers to grammar questions. Even word processing programs can fail to give the much-needed help in correcting grammar errors that are blatantly wrong.

Between is a Preposition
The word between is a preposition. Prepositions are words that show relationships between nouns or pronouns. Examples of prepositions comprise: about, above, below, beneath, in, over, and, of course, between. The noun or pronoun after a preposition is called the object of the preposition. The problem does not patent itself when we use actual nouns. For example, no one would have any trouble with "between a rock (noun) and a hard place (noun" or "between Mary (noun) and Jill (noun)." In English, nouns in the objective case (used as objects) are not different from their subject form. But such is not the case with pronouns.

So, how can a person get better their English grammar? There are several things that might help someone stressed in this area. First of all, it might help to be with people who use correct grammar when they talk and read textile that uses good grammar structure within the English language. Since everyone learns his or her native language by listening, even from back to the time of infancy, it reasons that if he or she listens to and reads material with good grammatical structure as new cutting edge pre-intermediate , they will slowly learn the correct way to write and say things.

Use Objective Case Pronouns after a Preposition
After a preposition, like between, speakers and writers must use objective, not subjective, case pronouns. The following is a short list of pronouns in the subjective case and the objective case:
Subjective Case: I, We, He, She, They
Objective Case: Me, Us, Him, Her, Them

The appearance "It is all about me" would not make sense if it were written "It is all about I." Similarly, the sentence, "There is no one behind we" is non-standard and would not be accepted by any native speaker of English. Some people get confused when there are two pronouns as the object of a preposition.
