Excellent course, confusing and complex at the end, but still worth it to learn all of these, specially punctuation which it's hard to comprehend and learn properly all of the rules.

The course provides basic grammar rules, but they are critically useful since it helps me to realize that I have violated so many rules, which have lowered my marks on some tests.
