Synopsis

Written for everyone from students to professional writers, Grammar Traps tackles 20 of the most common English grammar and usage mistakes--from dangling and misplaced modifiers to incomplete and run-on sentences, who and whom, that and which, its and it's, and subject-verb agreement. Grammar Traps is concise and easy to use, with simple language and clear examples. More than a dozen quick-reference charts provide at-a-glance guidance. Grammar Traps includes a glossary of grammatical terms; appendices covering troublesome words, misspelled words, and punctuation; bibliography; and index.
