About This Book

The handbook presents essential rules of grammar, diction, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure arranged in a decimal scheme of one hundred numbered articles, each opening with a concise rule, illustrative examples, and a short parallel exercise. Groups of ten articles conclude with mixed drills; a chart of headings enables instant reference and instructor annotation. Emphasis falls on completeness of thought and common sentence errors—fragments, incomplete constructions, omitted words, faulty comparisons, and misuse of causal clauses—while the program encourages self-correction through targeted practice and margin-based assignments.
