The popular guide to mastering English grammar-now even more user-friendly.The theory behind this self-teaching guide is that learning to write and speak Standard American English (SAE) effectively is easier for those with a solid working knowledge of how and why our grammar works, than for those who merely memorize lists of rules. That's why, unlike most books on the subject, this new edition of How Grammar Works emphasizes grammar in action in everyday language. Its easy-to-follow demonstrations of the functions of the various parts of speech, many reinforcing exercises, and helpful techniques for remembering how the rules of grammar apply to everyday language, make it easier than ever for readers to quickly master an all-important component of effective communication.Updated and expanded--now features more practical exercises with answers and a new glossary of frequently misused word pairs.Patricia Osborn (Toledo, Ohio), a professional writer and editor, was for many years Chair of the English Department at Bowsher High School in Toledo.
