Synopsis

Master English grammar with a clear, class-ready guide that builds skills from basics to mastery.

This classic manual presents a structured approach to the English language. It is designed for schools, academies, and general reference, and it emphasizes a practical, deductive path to understanding grammar, punctuation, and usage. The book outlines a tripartite view of parts of speech and assembles rules in a way that helps learners find and apply the right guidance quickly.

Two short paragraphs frame the value: it focuses on foundational elements first, with simple examples and gradual progression toward more complex rules. It also highlights the need for repetition, review, and careful parsing as a path to lasting memory and clear expression. The edition foregrounds practical exercises, idioms, and review sections to reinforce learning and help students connect rules to real writing.

• Learn the core categories of English grammar and how nouns, verbs, and other words work together.
• See how punctuation, style, and orthography support clear communication.
• Explore the logic behind language choices, with tips for practice and correct usage.
• Use annotated examples and parsing guidance to build confidence in writing and editing.

Ideal for teachers and students seeking a rigorous, ready-to-use reference that supports classroom lessons and independent study.
