Synopsis
Excerpt from Lessons in English Grammar
In the preparation of this book, the essential features of Welsh's "Lessons in English Grammar" have been retained. Many chapters have been rewritten, others enlarged, and the entire work has been recast and rearranged.
Two points have been kept prominently in view: (1) What the boy or girl of average ability knows of the use of our language before beginning the systematic study of its facts, and the laws and usages of its structure; (2) What amount of information such an one ought to possess of our language after having studied it intelligently for the length of time usually devoted to it in the graded and ungraded schools of the country.
It is, therefore, assumed that they actually know something concerning the language they speak and write, and that they are capable of learning a great deal more if they have an opportunity.
The sentence is the unit of thought; its elements are words, phrases, and clauses. These taken separately are pieces of sentences. When properly put together, they are the vehicles of thought.
Good definitions are held to be absolutely necessary in the formal study of any science, English Grammar not excepted. They are the hitching posts for concentrated thought and reference. All definitions in this book are therefore clear, pointed, and precise. The language employed is designed to convey the exact meaning to the pupil's mind.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive and practical approach to understanding the English language. Delving into the history of the language, the author traces its evolution from its Anglo-Saxon roots through the influence of Norman French and the subsequent infusion of Latin and Greek words. The author skillfully examines the building blocks of language ââ â the alphabet and its symbols ââ â and then delves into the fundamental unit of speech: the sentence. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding how words function within the sentence, carefully explaining the eight Parts of Speech, their various classes and sub-classes, and how their meaning can shift depending on their context. Throughout, the author stresses the logic and structure inherent in English, challenging the traditional approach to grammar which often obscures this underlying order. By carefully analyzing phrases and clauses, the author illuminates the complex and subtle ways that meaning is constructed in the English language. This book offers a unique and valuable guide for those seeking a deeper understanding of the grammar and structure of English. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
