Can someone grammar check PLEASE!?
Ok! This’ll be simple, because grammar has unchanging rules and once you know them, you’re good to go. 1. Many South Africans take pride in calling Nelson Mandela a hero because of the strong resilience he had, against the South African government. Fix: The comma between the words “had” and “against” does not belong. Reason: A comma is a place where you pause while speaking. If you read the sentence, there is no pause there. This sentence is one complete thought. It has no pauses anywhere, and therefore no commas. 2. Even after being banned, arrested and imprisoned, Mandela stood bold in his struggle against them. Fix: A comma between the words “arrested” and “and.” Reason: Again, a comma is a place where you pause when speaking. If you read this aloud, you pause after the word “arrested.” Actually, putting a comma before the word “and” used to be debatable. However, it’s now usual to do so. 3. He supported the 1952 Campaign against apartheid as well as the 1955 Congress of the People
