    Love this giveaway! Conjunctions are probably the most difficult for me to master. =)

    This is something I definitely could use to help understand the proper use of colons/semicolons. Thanks for the opportunity to win a year of Grammarly Premium.

    There is a comma rule (not the Oxford one)that occurs mid-sentence at times, and it always trips me up.

    My biggest struggle is with commas, when to use them, when to leave them out. Other forms of punctuation such as semicolons are also a sticking point. And I seem to have a love of run-on sentences.

    Oh I struggle with quite a few of them, but probably the em dash is the most difficult for me to get. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

    I often struggle with my verb-tense shift. I find myself rereading graphs to be certain I am still in the same tense. There are a few obscure comma rules as well!

    Lie, lay, lain, laid...no matter how many times I read the 'how to's', I can't keep them straight.

    I struggle with comma placing. I hear a pause, so I put a comma. And it doesn't need one. Or vice versa.

    I have the free version of Grammerly and it helps me out a lot. :)
