About This Book

A practical, inductive grammar and composition manual for classroom use that presents rules through examples and progressive exercises. It introduces sentence types, subjects and predicates, parts of speech and their inflections, syntax, and sentence analysis, then offers guidance and exercises for composition practice. Emphasis is on observation of good English, mental discipline through generalization, frequent writing practice, and teacher-led correction rather than mechanical drills. Lessons and exercises aim to develop clear expression and grammatical understanding.
