Synopsis

Do you ever wonder why English grammar seems confusing?

Well, have you ever been told that a verb is an action word? Plenty of verbs aren’t. An adjective is a word that describes a noun? Many adjectives aren’t single words. It’s wrong to say: I feel good? “I feel good” is grammatically correct. You shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition? Of course you can: put it down, look it up, think it over. You know it’s a sentence if it has a subject and a verb? You can have a subject and a verb and still not have a sentence.

Would you like to get a better understanding of how English works without memorizing dozens of grammar terms? Writing It Right doesn’t emphasize the labels we put on words. Instead, it focuses on what words are doing in a sentence—how they work together to communicate meaning.

It’s a book for:

• Writers, especially self-published writers, who want help with their editing
• Teachers, whether in a classroom or home setting, who want an alternative to traditional grammar terminology
• Anyone who wants to feel more comfortable with English in its everyday use.
