Feedback essay writing

Good:

• Lay-out
• Thesis
• Arguments
• PEE
• Grammar -> tenses (present perfect, passives ;-), modifiers (adjectives, adverbs, relative pronouns), noun phrases

Needs improvement:

• Catchy introduction 
• Formal register
• Avoiding repetitiveness
• Grammar: article use (when not to use an article), concord (the boys' bikes), the genitive, adjectives with numbers (14-year-old girl), demonstrative pronouns this/that + plurals

Grammar

No article  (the/a/an) when:

• word is used in a general sense (milk is good for you; gold is scarce)
• plural noun is used (women tend to be the better managers ;-)
• names of buildings when referring to their use (she went to hospital, he went to church)
• names of cities, streets , parks, personal names etc. (Buckingham Palace, on Orchard road)
• names of seasons used in a general sense ( In spring, new-born lambs can be spotted in the fields.)
• names of meals when referring to time meal is used (For breakfast I always have cereals.)
• Most, next, last etc.

Grammar

The genitive -> 's:

• persons singular + not ending in "s" (John's car, a man's job, the women's league)
• time singular (last week's paper)
• place singular (at the hairdresser's)
• expressions singular (a stone's throw away)

The genitive -> '

• persons plural (the girls' bikes)
• time plural (a two hours' walk; NOTE: a two-hour walk)
• place plural (at my friends')
• names from antiquity (Socrates' philosophy; NOTE: Shakespeare's novels)
• family names ending in "s" -> The Browns' home; 

Grammar

Genitive "Of":

• Geographical names (The city of Athens; The province of Ontario)
• Amounts (ten grams of salt)
• Things (the name of the school, the top of the building)

If things have a connection to people we also use the s-genitive (possessive).

Germany's economy = the ecomony of Germany

Grammar

Concord (nouns and adjectives)

• The boys' car vs the boys' cars -> what is the difference?
• Boys' and girls' bicycles

This/these

That/those

Difference?
