Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Do you know where your apostrophes should or shouldn’t go?

John Sutherland, a professor of modern literature at University College London, has written a new book so you can test your grammar skills.

How good is your grammar? is full of tests and questions to test your English skills, from how to deal with contractions to whether the names of common household items are correct.

If your days of endless English lessons at school are far behind you, why not brush up your knowledge with this quiz.

John Sutherland's book How good is your grammar? is available now.
