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.

Transcriber’s Notes

Variant spelling and hyphenation have been preserved as printed; simple typographical errors have been corrected. Punctuation has been standardised, and unbalanced quotation marks and parentheses have been repaired.

The following changes have also been made:

  • Page vi, Contents:
    Person 39 238 changed to
    Person 39 236
  • Page 26:
    Number (Verb agrees with Subject) [was printed with a brace spanning Number and Person]
  • Page 98, Personal Endings:
    [repeated no-ending in each cell instead of replicating the book’s row-spanning braces]
  • Page 258 [changed word order]:
    If the verb is active, change it to the passive, and make such other changes as may be necessary. If the verb is active, change it to the passive.
    If the verb is active, change it to the passive, and make such other changes as may be necessary. If the verb is passive, change it to the active.
  • Footnote 66:
    [The table spanned pages 298 to 299, and the footnote was repeated across the page break; the transcriber omitted duplicate note.]
