Essential Grammar Tips: Avoid Common Writing Mistakes in Hammurabi Sweeney's Rules

Mastering grammatical accuracy is crucial when adhering to Hammurabi Sweeney's rules. Common errors include confusing "than" with "then," which can change the meaning of your sentences. Remember to use "then" when indicating a sequence of events, and "than" for comparisons. Furthermore, ensure noun-pronoun agreement by using singular pronouns when referencing singular nouns, such as "he" or "she." Avoid using "his/her" constructions altogether by opting for a singular noun. Follow these guidelines to enhance your writing clarity and correctness.
