Synopsis

Master English grammar at a glance with an improved syntax.

This classic grammar guide presents a clear, step-by-step view of English grammar and its rules, organized to help learners remember and apply them with ease. It emphasizes a practical approach to syntax, aims to reduce confusion, and shows how to parse common constructions through explained examples.

The volume is designed for use in schools and offers two parts: a focused first section on what learners should commit to memory, and a second section that expands on the rules with familiar illustrations. It covers parts of speech, sentence structure, tense and mood, and the mechanics of parsing, with practical exercises and specimen parsing to build confidence.

• Simple, readable explanations of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections
• Guidance on sentence structure, government, agreement, and the rules of syntax
• Illustrative examples, exercises, and a specimen of parsing to reinforce learning
• Historical context of derivation and the evolution of English grammar rules

Ideal for students who want a solid, approachable foundation in English grammar and for teachers seeking a reliable teaching resource.
