Usage
Grammar usage refers to spelling and word choice such as
lie/lay, rise/raise, sit/set, to/too/two.
There are too many different usage choices to explain in one handout. Instead, look in your own
textbook to review the section on usage and word choice. If you cannot find this section in your
textbook, your teacher or a writing tutor can help you find it.
Another usage resource is the Alan Meyers workbook, Writing With Confidence, 3
rd
edition.
See chapters 15, pp. 344-366, for examples and practice. This text is on reserve in the Main
Desk, with the answer key available in the teacher's manual.
