Synopsis
The Class And Home-Lesson Book Of English Grammar by Charles Henry Walker Biggs is a nineteenth-century instructional primer that guides learners through the fundamentals of English grammar. The text presents a progressive course beginning with orthography and etymology, moving through the nine parts of speech, and culminating in syntax and composition. It defines core concepts such as letters, syllables, parts of speech, numbers, gender, case, and the functions of articles, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. The book provides extensive rules, explicit examples, exercises for practice, and exam-style questions to reinforce learning. It includes chapters on the subject and predicate, direct and indirect objects, appositions, modifiers, and the structure of simple, compound, and complex sentences, as well as comprehensive sections on punctuation and composition. This edition preserves the original pedagogical style that aims to build reading, writing, and spelling proficiency in a clear, methodical manner.
