Synopsis

Master the building blocks of English with clear, classroom-friendly guidance. A Modern English Grammar presents an analytic, inductive approach to understanding how language works. It focuses on the structure of sentences first, then builds toward the use and classification of words, with careful guidance to help students observe, compare, and reason about grammar.

The book emphasizes practical learning: start by breaking down sentences into subject, predicate, complements, and modifiers, then study how these larger elements shape the parts of speech. It aims to help teachers and learners grasp the governing rules without overwhelming part-by-part detail, using visually accessible graphics and carefully chosen exercises.

• Learn to identify the core parts of a sentence and the roles of subjects, predicates, and modifiers.


• Explore how sentence structure influences the classification and use of words.


• Study the parts of speech through practical, non-dogmatic instruction and guided inferences.


• Work with carefully designed exercises that reinforce good usage and critical thinking.

Ideal for students, teachers, and anyone seeking a solid, approachable foundation in English grammar.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is an attempt to present the grammar of modernE nglish in the manner prescribed by modem methods of instruction. The general treatment of the subject has been determined by two considerations. The first is that when pupils begin the study of grammar, they not only are able to understand the language of standard English literature, but they are continually using sentences of their own with considerable fluency and accuracy. The second is that, though pupils have considerable skill in the use of language, they have little knowledge of the nature of sentences and little insight into the fundamental relations of subject, predicate, complement, and modifier. The second consideration makes unsuitable for classinstruction those formal treatises that take for granted a knowledge of the elements of sentence structure, and begin with the discussion of single words. The first consideration discredits the method of those text-books which, following the line of progress of a childs first efforts at language, begin with single words, and require pupils to build up the mother tongue bit by bit, as if it were something new and strange. The pupils whom we set to study grammar learn to use the parts of speech and the various types of theE nglish sentence when they are very young; and they naturally find dry and unprofitable a study which ignores the power and knowledge already acquired.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
