English grammar: Articles, verbs and passive voice (GradProSkills workshop)
This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars.
Advance registration is required.
Do you want to improve your English? Are you looking for resources to help support your written and spoken grammar?
This Grammar workshop is one of two stand-alone grammar workshops open to all graduate students at Concordia University. This workshop gives participants a solid foundation needed to move toward producing polished papers, reports, and theses at an advanced level. The workshop aims to help face some of the most persistent challenges with English grammar – namely, challenges related to articles, identifying the right verb tenses and the use of passive voice.
For more help with grammar, be sure to also register for English Grammar: Prepositions, relative clauses, expletives, and modifiers. Note that neither of the two workshops is a prerequisite for the other.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify some of the most common English mistakes related to articles, verb tenses, modal verbs, subject-verb agreement and passive versus active voice;
- Recognize and correct such grammar problems when they appear in texts;
- Apply grammar-related specificities of English in their own writing.
