In the text, About Writing, by Samuel R. Delany, he challenges writers to learn some common and uncommon rules of grammar and parts of speech by the time the season turns.
I have found the only way I can remember and use detailed info like this is through lots of repetition. So, I put the terms Delany mentions into a Quizlet exercise for practice. You are welcome to use the exercise and return to it as often as you like.
The exercise is below. You can also find it here.
I suggest starting with Flashcards before trying the other formats.
Let me know in the comments below if you find anything that needs fixing and if you find the exercise helpful.
