Although I stuggle with English grammer as a whole, general rules, terminology, and such, I have choosen to start attacking a small part of this beast. Quotation marks, and underlinings. There are many other things that I struggle with in English, which you can plainly see, but I choose to start with this. You see, I have either never learned, or can never remember, which kind of works receive quotation marks, how to quote someone's work/words, and which get underlined. Titles of movies, books, short works, music, etc,. I want to respect the great efforts these men and women went to, by giving them proper credit, but alas, it is a "kryptonite" of mine. One rule I do know of is, that quotations are used to show direct speech. Here's an example: She said, "the cinders are falling like snow". I'm sure if we talked about it for 5 minutes, it would all be cleared up. Here is a link that has helped me a little.
