I didn't know what a pleonasm was until I read the explanation. So it was reassuring that I did know which they were when I did the test. I've put it in my favourites to go back to, so thanks for sharing the details.
I started looking at these exercises, but found I didn't always agree (but then, punctuation isn't an exact science, is it?). For example, in the exercise on commas, in no. 6 I would have used a semi-colon rather than a comma.
I've just spent far too much time on that, but it was surprisingly interesting!
ReplyDeleteI expect I'd find it interesting too, so I'm not going to click on the link until after NaNo.
ReplyDeleteGreat link! I need all the help I can get regarding grammar. Thanks Teresa. Caroline x

Yes I found it so too, Karen.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with NaNo, Patsy.
Me too, Caroline!
Neither did I, Carol. Like you I did okay in the test, so we obviously knew what a pleonasm was, just not that there was a name for it.

ReplyDeleteJust a thought.
Oooh, terrific, off to investigate.
