eLearning Blog - A Look Back (Part 10)

September 2008 was a good month at the eLearning blog. There were 2 big "series" of posts: using hyphens correctly and problem phrases. However, even outside of those topics, other helpful things were covered! Please visit the September 2008 blog posts, pick one of the "using hyphens correctly" topics, one of the "problem phrases" topics, and one other topic (other than something from either of those two series). Participate in all three of those discussions and then come back here to tell us what you learned!

Writing - Problem Phrases (Part 2)
I chose this particular blog because I have always use the phrase incorrectly; who would've figured (use to or used to) it does makes sense to put it in past tense by saying used to.

I learn the correct use of the phrase. couldn't careless
When they used, they forgot to put the contraction Ex : I (couldn't) careless.


I learn the rule about hyphen to join two or more words servings as a single adjective, before a noun.
Before a noun is the key to this rule, but if the compound modifiers came after a noun, they are not hypernated.
