Excerpt from Fairy GrammarThere is no new method of teaching, no new fangled device aolvcd in this book. It is merely a tale by means of Which the child's imagination is brought to bear upon a difficult and uninterest ing subject (from the child's point of view), and which, I believe, will enable the young mind to grasp the importance of grammar, and all ancon sciously to learn its first mysteries. Certainly, the lessons are not carried very far; but experience has'shown me that, when once a child has firmly grasped the difference between the parts of speech, no difficulty is experienced in erecting the rest of the edifice. And I believe in making a child's first efforts as easy and as pleasant as possible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Do you feel that your writing lets you down? Do you have problems turning your thoughts into writing? Do you randomly scatter commas throughout your written work and hope for the best? You are not alone - and this book is just what you need! This is a grammar book with a difference. It brings grammar to life by giving examples of grammatical problems in the contexts where they arise by including a soap opera. As the characters’ grammar improves, so will yours. It blends a story about three students – Barbara, Kim and Abel - with advice on specific areas of grammar. The characters’ story builds throughout the book, but each chapter can be read separately if readers want to focus on specific grammatical issues. The book examines and clearly explains aspects of grammar, language use and punctuation such as: Academic language Standard English Correct use of tenses Active and passive voices Sentence construction and punctuation When and where to place an apostrophe Using grammar checkers There are exercises to encourage the reader to relate the issues to their own practice and experiences, as well as an extensive glossary which defines the terms that are used throughout the book. Grammar: A Friendly Approach is based around issues at university but students from schools and colleges will also love this irreverent look at the rules of grammar: Their teachers and tutors will also see rapid and noticeable improvements in students’ written work.
