I'm looking for a book to help improve my English. I know the basics but want to be able to write more eloquently, better my understanding of punctuation, grammar and correct sentence structure. I've no idea what I was up to in English class as a child but I don't really know the difference between nouns, pronouns or how to use a colon properly or how to use possessive apostrophes. These are just words and concepts that I know I've heard at some point in the past. My husband is brilliant at writing, very pedantic and has made me very aware of my inferiority in this area (just by virtue of being, not by being critical). I'm actually very embarrassed by this realisation! I'm thinking about returning to Higher Education to study for an MA and considering a career change beyond that. Before embarking on this new path I feel I need to brush up on these skills. Any book recommendations would be great. Thanks!
