Synopsis

Common School Grammar: Easy Lessons In Etymology And Syntax by William Chauncey Fowler. Common School Grammar is a 19th-century elementary grammar book by Fowler, abridged from his larger 'The English Language in its Elements and Forms.' The work is designed for use in general schools and families and provides a structured program of instruction in grammatical etymology and syntax. It covers the parts of speech (nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections), the articles, numerals, and the mechanics of punctuation, and it introduces students to syntactical forms and governance in English. The book is organized into Part I: Etymological Forms in the English Language and Part II: Syntactical Forms in the English Language, with definitions, classifications, questions, and hundreds of exercises to develop reading, speaking, and writing skills. The edition references additions by Miss Anne C. Webb and offers guidance for teachers, including an exercise key. The text aims to provide clear principles, practical examples, and graded practice to facilitate a transition to more advanced grammars.
