1. Whats the matter with Jane's brother?
   What's the matter with Jane's brother?
2. What's the matter with Jane's brother.
   Whats the matter with Janes brother?

"Whats" in this sentence means "what is" or "what's". The subject "Jane" needs to be possessive (Jane's) when referring to her brother. The sentence is also a question and must be punctuated accordingly.

1. To separate things in a series.
   To indicate there is a pause in the sentence.
2. To surround the name of a person being addressed.

1. His mother's English and his father's Swiss
   His mothers English and his fathers Swiss.
2. His mother's English and his father's Swiss.
   His Mother's English and his Father's Swiss.

Mother and father are not proper nouns so they don't need to be capitalized. However, English and Swiss are proper nouns and need to be capitalized. Be sure to end your sentence with a period.

1. "I" before "e" except after "c"
   "A" before "b" always.
2. A plural subject needs a singular predicate.

1. Coordinating conjunctions
   Subordinating conjunctions

In this context, a complete thought is a sentence with a subject and predicate as a minimum.

A noun names a person, animal, place, thing, quality, idea, activity or feeling. A noun can be singular, plural or possessive.

1. "I"
   "You"
2. "They"
   All of the above

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun, like "I", "you","they", "he" or "she" for example.

Linking verbs link the subject to the rest of the sentence. A couple of examples include "appear" and "seem."

1. Double negative
   Misuse of homophones

2. Big
   House

Conjunctions connect two words, phrases, or clauses. Common conjunctions are "and", "but" and "or." Moreover, "although" "however" and "because" are also conjunctions.

1. Warm

An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun. It adds meaning by telling which one, what kind, or describing it in other ways.

1. A. Enter current before-tax or tax-deductible contributions you, or your spouse, is making.
   B. Enter current before-tax or tax-deductible contributions you or your spouse is making.
2. C. Enter current before-tax or tax-deductible contributions made by you or your spouse.
   Both B and C

Although "B" is a somewhat clumsy sentence, it is correct with the verb "is making" agreeing with the subject that is closer to the verb, "spouse.". My using the passive tense, "C" is better understood.

1. Misunderstood
   Grown
2. Carefully

1. Correlative conjunctions
   Coordinating conjunctions
2. Subordinating conjunctions
   Submarginal conjunctions

These are subordinating conjunctions which introduce a dependent clause, tying it to an independent clause.

1. Submarginal conjunction
   Correlative conjunctions
2. Coordinating conjunctions
   Subordinating conjunctions

Correlative conjunctions come in pairs, and you have to use both of them in different places in a sentence to make them work.

1. Using double negatives
   Using the wrong verb tense
2. Misspelling words
   Misuse of homophones

This is a misuse of homophones "there" and "their". A homophone is one of two or more words that sound the same but have different meanings.

A possessive pronoun is a word that demonstrates ownership or indicates possession such as "mine," "yours," "hers" and "theirs".

1. One another

Reflexive pronouns are easy to remember because they are words ending in -self or -selves. They are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same (e.g., I believe in myself).

   Separate a list of things if there are commas within each unit

1. Hers
   Themselves
2. Where
   One another

Again, it's easy to remember this type of pronoun as it describes the relative relationship between an independent and dependent clause.

1. Subordinating conjunctions
   Correlative conjunctions
2. Submarginal conjunctions
   Coordinating conjunctions

These are coordinating conjunctions which join together words, phrases and independent clauses. There are seven of them in all.

1. Tom is not cute.
   Run-on sentence
2. The comma should be a semicolon.
   The comma should be a colon.

This is a run-on sentence. The following is correct: Tom is very cute. He is very popular at school.

1. Theirs
   Yourself
2. One another
   When

Here is another part of speech that is easy to remember. Whenever something is done or given in return, reciprocal pronouns are used.

1. We walked to the store.
   We are walking to the store.
2. We will walk to the store.
   None of the above.

The future tense refers to a time later than now, and expresses facts or certainty. The verb is used with "will" or "shall".
