Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book provides a breakdown of grammar rules to help English students of all ages communicate effectively. It begins with a discussion of the history of grammar, asserting that the grammatical components found in European languages are grounded in the very nature of human speech. Readers are given an overview of the eight parts of speech and how they are used in different linguistic situations. The author points out that these parts of speech are universally present in all languages and thus provide an outline for a comprehensive theory of grammar. Within this framework, the book examines the various ways language is used to express number, gender, voice, mood, and tense. Notably, the author uses Latin and Greek as comparative examples, proposing that Greek grammar is more immediately useful in understanding English grammar than its Latin counterpart. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of grammar in studying foreign languages and in avoiding the use of foreign idioms, arguing that knowing grammar empowers speakers to write and speak in a compelling and logical manner. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
