Synopsis

Master English grammar and sentence structure with clear rules and plenty of practice.

This edition, titled Errors in English Composition, Vol. 1, offers practical guidance on grammar, construction, order, prepositions, conjunctions, and punctuation. It combines theory with a large collection of correction exercises drawn from journalism and literature to help you learn by doing. An accompanying Part II provides solutions for self-checking after attempting the examples.

Designed for private study rather than class use, the book guides you through six chapters that focus on common errors and how to fix them. Each chapter explains the theory and then shows numerous examples you can correct or justify, reinforcing correct usage across real writing.

• Clear explanations of grammar, construction, and the roles of prepositions and conjunctions
• Many examples to practice correcting or justifying, with immediate references for verification
• An Appendix of past essay topics used in public examinations for practical preparation
• Aligned for self-study, helping you build confidence in writing and editing

Ideal for readers looking to improve writing accuracy and become more proficient in spotting and fixing errors.
