About This Book

A graded course of one hundred practical lessons develops English grammar by treating the sentence as the primary unit of study, progressing from whole-sentence analysis to the functions of words and then to finer classifications. The authors contrast this method with rote memorization and miscellaneous exercise collections, and they stress sentence analysis as the key to correct usage, unified discourse, ease of translation, and intellectual discipline. Lessons combine clear explanation, progressive exercises, and diagramming conventions, with supplemental attention to composition, spelling, and word-building for classroom adaptation.
