This blog is for Athabasca University students in English 140:Grammar.
Check out the Student Awards web site for all the details.
For a humourous look at grammar and some of the stickier grammatical situations, check out Grammar Girl. There is a site called Quick and Dirty Tips, and there is also a series of podcasts available. A book on the same topic has just been published. For those of you who are on Facebook, you might like to become a fan of Grammar Girl.

Santa ate the cookies and drank the milk as the kids were waking up on Christmas morning.
Anastasia: Because you say "as the kids were waking up," the verb tense in the first part of the sentence needs to be changed.
Santa had already eaten the cookies as the kids were waking up on Christmas morning.
Santa had eaten the cookies and drank the milk by the time the kids woke up on Christmas morning.
JOANNE: Excellent answer:-)
