Capitalize after a comma when it occurs within a sentence if it is the beginning of a new sentence or a proper noun. For example: "John went shopping. He bought a new shirt." or "I visited Paris, France, last summer."

Noam Chomsky is often credited with founding generative grammar in the 1950s. His work revolutionized the study of linguistics by proposing that language is an innate human capacity and that the rules governing language can be described through a formal system.

The correct grammar for "you caught a cold" is subject-verb-object. "You" is the subject, "caught" is the verb, and "a cold" is the object.

Grammar has evolved over time through the contributions of many scholars and linguists. However, the ancient Greeks are often credited with laying the foundation for modern grammatical rules through the works of scholars such as Dionysius Thrax and Aristarchus of Samothrace.

The third syllable has the primary stress, and the first syllable has a secondary stress:

it is pronounced di'-a-REE''-a.

Yes. Some sentences almost necessarily end with a preposition, constructions whose main verb is an idiom in which a preposition is part of the verb, like get along, go without, set ( something) up or give in. Every so often, learnèd fools decide that English is flawed in some way, and should be forced to conform to some other standard - Latin, for example - by way of political correction. Thus many a "rule" that is wrong. Ending sentences with prepositions did not occur in Latin, but it was and is perfectly good English.

In spoken English, we often end a sentence with a preposition, rather than rewording a sentence to avoid this.

To him. "He" may never be the object of a proposition.

Breaking up words into syllables can help improve spelling because it allows you to focus on smaller parts of the word, making it easier to recognize patterns and remember the correct spelling. By breaking a word into syllables, you can also identify common prefixes, suffixes, and root words, which can provide clues to the correct spelling of the word. Overall, understanding syllables can help with word recognition and improve overall spelling accuracy.

everyone is a collective noun, thus it is singular.

The contraction for "he had" is "he'd."

These are different points of view in literature.

First Person is told from the a character's perspective and is distinguishable by the use of words like "I", "me", and "myself".

Second Person is rarely used, most common in dialogue or in who-done-it mysteries and is characterized by the use of "you" like, "You walk down the stairs and come to a door".

Third Person is the most common and is broken down into many subcategories, but is always told from an outside narrator's point of vew with your general "he did this", "she said that" format. Major subcategories are reporter (in which the story is told without any perspective of the characters' thoughts), omniscient (in which the thoughts of all characters can be exposed), and partial-omniscient (in which the reader is exposed to the thoughts and feelings of only some characters usually the protagonist.

"The Ukraine" used to be a common way to refer to the country, stemming from a time when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. However, Ukraine's independence in 1991 led to a shift in the usage, with "the" being dropped. Saying "the Ukraine" can now be seen as outdated or even offensive in some contexts as it implies a lack of recognition of Ukraine as a sovereign nation.
