Which sentence has correct grammar?
You are right. The second one is correct, while the first one is more common. Why? Think of the question, 'How do you feel?' It is asking for an adverb to describe 'feel'. I answer, 'I feel badly.' Badly is an adverb, bad is not. You may also answer, 'I feel well.' Well is an adverb. Yet, how often do you hear people say, 'I feel well.' Instead of these, they say bad or good, both of which are adjectives used to describe nouns, but not verbs. In the end, some say 'bad', but I prefer 'badly'. Edit: From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/b... Usage Note: Bad is often used as an adverb in sentences such as The house was shaken up pretty bad or We need water bad. This usage is common in informal speech but is widely regarded as unacceptable in formal writing. The adverb badly is often used after verbs such as feel, as in I felt badly about the whole affair. This usage bears analogy to the use of other adverbs with feel, such as strongly in We feel strongly about this issue. Some people prefer to maintain a distinction between feel badly and feel bad, restricting the former to emotional distress and using the latter to cover physical ailments; however, this distinction is not universally observed, so feel badly should be used in a context that makes its meaning clear.
I understand that it's bad grammar to end a sentence with a preposition. Are they OK to end a question with?
It is always incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition, regardless of whether or not it is a question. It doesn't have an object, making it incorrect. You just have to find a way in the particular sentence. Examples: Where are go going to? Where are you going? What should I use it with? With what should I use it? Are prepositions okay to end a question with? Is it okay to end a question with a preposition? You may just have to rewrite the sentence to make it sound okay, depending on the sentence. Edit: I came back to this question and read the answer saying it's outdated. I agree with that in the sense that people rarely will fix a sentence like "What are you talking about?" However, it is still considered incorrect grammar. If you were to write a paper to be graded on grammar, it would be incorrect to end the question with a preposition. For the sake of sounding intelligent when making a good impression, "To what are you referring?" or "About what are you speaking?" sounds a lot better than "What are you talking about?"
Is it bad grammar to use "more easier" in a sentence?
Yes it is. "Easier" is already a superlative, adding "more" is appalling English, because "easier" means "more easy", so you'd basically be saying "more more easy".
If I'm very bad at grammar and sentence structure, how can I learn so I can write a book?
Presumably you're a native speaker of English. It depends on the depth of grammar you'd like to learn and how poor your grammar actually is. Generally I would suggest reading good fiction, a shit-ton of it in fact, as remedy. While doing so you can pay close attention to the ways in which good writers make and break English sentences.That said, I have three suggestions if you feel you need a confidence booster:Get your hands on an advanced English as a Foreign Language grammar textbook. It will be simply written and outline the structure of the language in ways you might have never thought about.Consider getting a usage dictionary, I suggest “Garner’s Modern English Usage”. David Foster Wallace described writers who wrote without usage dictionaries as ‘insane’. Also get a common English mistakes book or something to that effect (penguin, Collins, there are many), read through this book and self-identify your own unique problem areas. Do some research and correct your grammar using your spiffy new Usage dictionary.If you're deadly serious about grammar - “Doing Grammar” by Max Morenberg will teach you, with scientific exactitude, ways in which English sentences are actually put together. It may be overkill for a good writer, but I can't see how it could ever be considered a waste of time.Bringing these together, I suggest you subscribe to the email “Daily Writing Tips” as well as follow dictionaries’ Facebook pages and Grammarly. Read consciously: weigh every sentence and think about why it works, and why it doesn't. Why there is a comma at a certain point, why an author used ‘a’ instead of ‘an’, why she used ‘that’ instead of ‘which’. Know what a clause is, what the punctuation marks actually do.Lastly: a delicate warning. Do not assume all authorities are correct - English grammar is replete with controversy. ‘Rules’ such as “don't begin a sentence with a conjunction” and “don't split the infinitive” and “don't end a sentence with a preposition” are not even close to being rules. As a writer, only other writers will be able to guide you into the proper craft of writing.
I am BAD in Grammar?? Sentences and fragments ?? I need help plllllz?
7,8, 10, and 17 are wrong unless there is a word missing. #7, 8, and 17 are missing the word 'is', and #10 is missing the word 'has'. If the errors are your part (maybe you were typing them too fast), then the rest is correct. I don't think you'll do too bad on the test you're about to take. Most people mess up this part of the English Language a lot because when they answer a question that is asked, they always answer "Because this", and they never rephrase like they should.
Would it be "is" or "are" in this sentence: There is/are some bad news for you?
Better not to use :is: or :are: at all!"I have bad news for you" or "The news contains bad news" work a lot better. The to-be words make prose floppy and mushy, so try to use them only when there is no decent alternative. And there usually is one. Note the presence of 'is' twice in the prior two sentences; exercise for the reader: rephrase to avoid them.
