Grammar Guides Introduction

The second section of Stephen King's On Writing is titled "Toolbox." In it, he describes all the things a writer should know making them analogous to tools in a toolbox that you a writer should take everywhere you go. The toolbox should have multiple layers and the commonest tools go in to the lop layer.

Vocabulary and grammar are the commonest tools for a writer. Use the vocabulary you have; don't try to stuff your writing with words that you have to constantly look up. Use the words that you use everyday to their fullest potential. Grammar we'll cover in this series of tutorials.

This section isn't intended to slam anyone's grammar skills. You understand grammar at the most fundamental level, otherwise you couldn't read, write, or talk. All I want to do is give you the proper terminology for what you already know and demystify what you think you don't.
