Synopsis
If you've ever wanted a quick and easy guide to verbs and adverbs, commas and apostrophes, clauses and prepositions, then this is a must-have book for you. Easing readers gently into the study of the structure of English, Grammar: A Pocket Guide covers common questions such as:
- Is it 10 items or less or 10 items or fewer?
- Should I say If I were you or if I was you?
- Can you start a sentence with And or Because?
- When do you use whom?
- What is the difference between lie and lay?
- Is it I feel bad or I feel badly?
Using examples from everyday speech and writing, this handy book cracks the code of off-putting grammatical jargon so that readers can enjoy learning how to think and talk about grammar. With practice exercises, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading, Grammar: A Pocket Guide is the perfect foundation for anyone wanting to improve his or her writing and communication.
