About This Book

The grammar offers an advanced, systematic treatment of English for students beyond the rudiments. It opens with a concise review of parts of speech, phrases, and clauses; proceeds to detailed coverage of inflection and syntax, including the roles and classification of subordinate clauses; and then develops sentence analysis, parsing, and the combination of clauses. An appendix supplies verb lists, conjugation tables, punctuation and capitalization rules, a summary of syntax, and a brief language history. Exercises drawn from notable writers and usage notes aimed at composition and historical differences accompany the main text.
