This is a handbook of how the English language works. Taking the reader through the elements of grammar, the book is divided into sections dealing with: parts of speech - from nouns to interjections; sentence structure - from statement to paragraphs; word formation - from basic forms to compounding; punctuation - from capital letters to inverted commas; and figures of speech and literary devices - from simile to zeugma. An alphabetical section deals with common errors and how to avoid them. Check-up sections with examples of good and bad grammar at the end of each chapter can be used for quick reference, or to check progress.
