A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This edition of AD rill Book in the Elements of English has been prepared at the urgent solicitation of teachers who have used the earlier editions, for sometime now out of print, and who allege that they find no satisfactory substitute for it. The work is meant for a drill book in elements. It is designed to help forward such a study of the English language as will enable one to read at least modern English authors with enjoyment, and to express clearly ones own thoughts. Questions, directions, and model exercises, have been subjoined to a part of the text at the beginning of the book, to indicate modes of handling words and sentences. Very few of the questions and directions lead to exercises usually called grammatical, as such will be sufficiently suggested by a proper study of the grammar. To Teachers. The essential part of this book is the text of the selections. Whatever else it contains has been introduced to facilitate the study of that text. THE SENTENCE is the proper unit of speech, and so is the first thing to be treated in the study of language. Beginning with the lesson entitled The Sentence read over with the class the groups of words, and see that the distinction among the groups is well understood by the pupil. Then let him write out such groups as are sentences, and form other groups, some making sentences, and some not making sentences. THE USES OF SENTENCES should be considered next, and the lesson bearing that title treated in the same way. When the pupils have become able to form and to recognize sentences of the several classes, they should learn the definitions of the first two lessons.
