Introduction to English Grammar and Mechanics
English features four core sentence elements (subjects, predicates, objects, and modifiers) that make up phrases and clauses, which in turn make up sentences.
Nouns
Nouns can be either the subject or object of sentences.
Pronouns
Pronouns replace nouns to reduce redundancy and link phrases together to provide more information.
Storytelling, Narration, and the “Who I Am” Story
By Catherine Ramsdell
This chapter focuses on the importance of storytelling to successful personal and professional communication in the 21st century. Because narration transcends experience, and because stories “can be found anywhere from a movie theatre to a corporate boardroom, everyone should know how to tell a good story.”

Learning to write is like following a recipe; there is room for creativity, but you need to know the basics.
