Medical Manuscript Writing
  • Know your Grammar Rules

2
Do you fear writing your first medical manuscript?
  • If yes, we can understand your fears. English is
    often considered as the most difficult and tricky
    language to learn. Probably due to its tricky
    grammar rules or exceptions to these rules.
  • For example, the past tense of sit is sat,
    but the past tense of hit is hit. Similarly,
    overlook and oversee are words with a
    different meaning, but look and see are
    synonyms.

3
Just remember the following three aspects of
English grammar to write a perfect and error-free
medical manuscript.

1) Tenses
  • Its important to use the right tense in your
    research paper when the things happened or will
    happen.  Use the same tense throughout your
    paper. If you write your research paper in the
    past tense, stick to it.

6
  • Past simple It is the basic form of past tense
    in English and talks about the action completed
    in the recent or the distant past. It includes
    addingd, ed, or ied to the base form of the
    verb. e.g.  We mixed the solutions
  • Past continuous It describes the actions which
    began in the past and are still going on. e.g.
    We were mixing the solutions
  • Past perfect  This tense talk about the actions
    that were completed before a point in the past.
    e.g. We had mixed the solutions
  • Past perfect continuous It describes an ongoing
    action that started in the past and continued for
    some time in the past. e.g. We had been mixing
    the solutions

7
  • Dont change the tense in between your sentences
    or paragraphs. It will only confuse the readers
    and they will fail to understand the essence of
    your ideas.
  • For example, A tiny bird sits on the ground,
    close to the nest. The bird cries out for its
    mother. Several people passed by, looked at it,
    but no one touches the bird.
  • Can you observe the inconsistency of the tenses
    in this paragraph? Doesnt it confuse you?

2) Punctuation
  • Presence or absence of a simple comma can change
    the meaning of a sentence. For example
  • Lets eat, Joseph! and
  • Lets eat Joseph!
  • The meaning changes when you use a comma, a colon
    or a semicolon in a sentence. Keep your sentences
    short and simple to make sure the readers
    understand their meaning.

  • The second difficulty arises with the use of
    apostrophes. They are tricky for native and
    non-native speakers alike. Apostrophes are used
    for two purposes
  • To show possession the childs book
  • In abbreviations thats instead of that is,
    doesnt instead of does not
  • Remember, for plurals which include numbers, do
    not use an apostrophe. Like apples, not apples
    and 1980s, not 1980s.

3) Word Types
  • Nearly 50 of the English language comprises of
    nouns, the names of things, people and places.
    These words are the most simple and impossible to
    go wrong, but other words in the sentence can be
    challenging. 

11
  • Articles When to use the article and which one
    to use can be confusing. the is used to refer
    to something specific like write all the key
    points. A and an are used for general
    things. An is used before a word that starts
    with a vowel sound like an electric charge and
    a is used for words that start with a consonant
    sound. E.g. a friendly mail.
  • Prepositions Prepositions like about, besides,
    below, between, above, etc. tell you where
    something is, and using the right one will guide
    the reader through your research. When in doubt,
    check it with your editor.

12
  • English might be tough, but its not impossible.
    Just convey the right meaning of the sentences
    and present your research manuscript in an
    understandable and reproducible way.
