An advertisement for the classified columns in a newspaper should be brief as the price to be paid for the advertisement very much depends on the space taken.
This grammar section explains English Grammar in a clear and simple way. There are example sentences to show how the language is used. Students can also read NCERT Solutions for Class 11 English to get good marks in CBSE Board Exams.
Newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, cinema, leaflets, pamphlets, etc. are extensively used for such purposes. The content is brief, words limited and sentences not necessarily grammatically correct. Information in digital, abbreviated, and short-form is acceptable. However, the brief description of the product or services advertised and the contact address must be there. There are two basic types of advertisements (ads) in the newspaper.
