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.

The worn brakes might have been fixed sooner if the car had been taken for regular service at the garage.
Lorraine: This is still the passive:-(
New try:
If I had took the car into the garage for regular service, I would had fixed the worn brakes sooner.
I hope it is good now :)
Lorraine:
Good, you have given a subject for the verbs; now fix the verb tenses;-) Verb tenses are tricky with conditional clauses--check pgs 412-415 in the SB.
One more time:)
