About This Book
The work provides a practical yet scholarly course in English grammar for secondary and college classes, opening with a discussion of what grammar is and how it should be taught. It treats parts of speech, verbals, parsing methods, and detailed syntax, and classifies sentences by form and number of statements with chapters on simple, contracted, complex, and compound sentences. Emphasis is placed on illustrating rules with abundant literary examples, using classics for exercises, and on training observation and linguistic judgment rather than prescribing rigid prescriptions; appendices and an index support classroom use.
