Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.In linguistics, the grammar of a natural language is its set of structural constraints on speakers' or writers' composition of clauses, phrases, and words. The term can also refer to the study of such constraints, a field that includes domains such as phonology, morphology, and syntax, often complemented by phonetics, semantics, and pragmatics.

As a volunteer college mentor, I help children of immigrants write essays to apply for colleges and scholarships. No matter how brilliant, they all have problems writing in English because they think in their home language.
"I am a simple girl," Elisabet initially wrote in her personal essay.
"What does 'simple' mean to you?" I asked. "In Mexico, it's a big compliment to say 'he's a simple man,'" Elisabet replied. "It means dependable and honorable."
"Unfortunately in English, 'simple-minded' springs to mind," I replied. "It has negative connotations." We looked on thesaurus.com.
Instead she wrote, "I am a modest girl with big dreams."
After graduating from college debt-free, Elizabet is studying to be a pediatrician.
