This week was yet another eye opener for how I really struggle with my grammar. I think one of my favorite assignments we had was the it's/its quiz. I felt very confident going into this one because I felt like I knew most of it. But of course, I was wrong. I didn't realize that it's could be used in so many different ways. It has, it is, and the possessive.
I also always have a hard time with the Active, Passive voice. I can never remember which ones which but I found that remembering that Active and action, so in the active voice the subject performs the action, and Passive is the opposite. This has helped me a lot when I need to just simply remember the difference between the two.
Today I was reading an article and happened to come across a typo, thanks to this class I noticed it. It was a CEO of a major company speaking to all of his clients and he named the article "Moving Forward." But it said "Moving Foward" I mean I probably wouldn't have even caught this normally because for some reason the words look almost similar to me even with the error. But it just shows how even a CEO of a company can mess up on a big article and it kind of makes him lose some credibility.
