    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The author, who is extremely shy, must often turn the ears of others in her direction to get what she requires for survival and a good life. She can’t always wait for unbidden champions to do her advocacy for her.

    #2 We must learn to insist that we have rights to airtime. Our increased use of that punctuation mark, written or spoken, is one way to begin.

    #3 Transitive and intransitive verbs are different. A transitive verb is a verb that takes an object, and an intransitive verb is a verb that does not take an object.

    #4 The use of the passive voice results in sentences like The cat was being washed. In passive voice, we go back to transitive verbs, but we reverse the order of subject and object, so that whatever is receiving the action comes first.
