Description

Introduces the concepts, categories and terminology of English grammar, beginning with the parts of speech and progressing, through phrases and clauses, to the sentence and beyond. While the approach is traditional, it is informed by the work of contemporary grammarians. Applies the analytical methods presented to the analysis of texts representing a range of genres, to issues of 'good' and 'bad' usage, and to the development of writing.
