Schaum's Outline of English Grammar [antikvár]

Preface The study of English grammar has two principal advantages. It facilitates mastery of writing and enables students to study the grammar of other languages more efTiciently. This book was developed to make the study of English grammar as easy as possible for all students, whether or not English is their first language. A Glossary of Grammatical Terms is provided as a reference to be used at any time. Chapter 1 discusses the principal elements of the sentence, and the next six chapters provide information and practice in all the parts of speech: nouns and articles, verbs and verbals, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs and prepositions and conjunctions. Each chapter of the book first presents necessary definitions and discussions, complete with examples. This presentation is then followed by exercises designed to help the student achieve mastery of the subject. Answers to all exercises are provided at the end of the book. The student is advised to work step by step through each chapter, doing each exercise in turn and checking the answers before proceeding further. Eugene Ehrlich Daniel Murphy
