I drove away from the dance thinking that I would only stay for a little while at the party.

Micro skills in writing are using grammar that is acceptable, using cohesive devices in written discourse, the ability to express a meaning in different grammatical forms. Some macro skills are make a distinction between literal and implied meanings, use writing strategies, and show the connection between events.
His lexical skills were far better than anyone in the company. This is an example of word for lexical. The instructor defended throwing a book at me to wake me up by saying that he was using a lexical approach.
Lexical awareness = knowledge of vocabulary (word meanings)
Cohesive devices in English are things in a story that keep the reader on a certain subject. Paragraphs within a chapter that relate to each other are a form of cohesive device.

Coherence and cohesion are two important parts in written discourse. As to any genres or registers, the writters need to be aware of the devices of cohesion inclusive of grammatical cohesion and lexical cohesion. Besides the structures of sentences and grammar, lexical cohesive devices help build up a coherent text. The reader will find it comfortable and patient to concentrate on a long text with such a group of magical vocabulary. N.T.T (martinrose)
Sure! Some English cohesive devices include conjunctions (e.g. and, but, or), pronouns (e.g. he, she, it), transitional phrases (e.g. however, therefore, in addition), and lexical cohesion (repetition of words or synonyms).
A lexical metaphor involves the substitution of one word for another in a figurative sense, while a grammatical metaphor involves the transformation of grammatical structures to create metaphorical meanings. Lexical metaphors change the word level, while grammatical metaphors alter the structure of the sentence.
A lexical affix is a morpheme that attaches to a base word to create a new word with a different meaning or function. Unlike grammatical affixes, which primarily affect the grammatical structure of a word, lexical affixes bring about changes in the meaning or lexical category of the word.
Cohesive devices in a poem can include repetition (repeating words or phrases), parallelism (using similar grammatical structures), enjambment (continuing a sentence beyond the end of a line), and alliteration (repeating consonant sounds). These devices help create unity and flow within the poem.
Lexical words are nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs. Grammatical words are determiners, pronouns, auxiliaries and modals, prepositions, conjunctions. That's all I remember.
There is no grammatical difference between two nouns. If they have different meaning, then there is a lexical difference.
Lexical errors can impact the meaning of a message directly, as they involve using the wrong words or phrases. Grammatical errors, on the other hand, may affect how the message is structured or delivered. In communication, clarity and accuracy in word choice are crucial for effective understanding, making lexical errors particularly important to address.
