Synopsis
Targeting the most serious problems of basic writers, this popular self-instructional workbook uses systematic practice in increasingly complex contexts to help users develop skill in editing their own writing for the basic features of standard written English. Based on intensive self-instruction, the book enables users to correct their own work, exercise by exercise, then periodically apply what they have learned in the process to editing their own writing, using the rules and analytic tools they have mastered step-by-step. Extensively revised to promote greater understanding, the Fifth Edition now helps users apply newly acquired editing skills to their own writing. Four sentence modules provide a clear framework for subsequent study of singular and plural forms, and of verbs and verb phrases. For those seeking to improve their mastery in written English.
