Product Description
A few years ago, a magazine sponsored a contest
for the comment most likely to end a conversation.
The winning entry? "I teach English grammar." Just
throw that line out at a party; everyone around
you will clam up or start saying "whom."
Why does grammar make everyone so nervous?
Probably because English teachers, for decades
– no, for centuries – have been making
a big deal out of grammar in classrooms,
diagramming sentences and drilling the parts of
speech, clauses, and verbals into students until
they beg for mercy. Happily, you don't have to
learn all those technical terms of English grammar
– and you certainly don't have to diagram
sentences – in order to speak and write
correct English.
So rest assured – English Grammar For
Dummies will probably never make your English
teacher's top-ten list of must-read books, because
you won't have to diagram a single sentence. What
you will discover are fun and easy strategies that
can help you when you're faced with such
grammatical dilemmas as the choice between "I" and
"me," "had gone" and "went," and "who" and "whom."
With English Grammar For Dummies, you won't have
to memorize a long list of meaningless rules
(well, maybe a couple in the punctuation
chapter!), because when you understand the reason
for a particular word choice, you'll pick the
correct word automatically.
English Grammar For Dummies covers many other
topics as well, such as the following:
* Verbs, adjectives, and adverbs – oh
my!
* Preposition propositions and pronoun
pronouncements
* Punctuation: The lowdown on periods,
commas, colons, and all those other squiggly
marks
* Possession: It's nine-tenths of grammatical
law
* Avoiding those double negative vibes
* How to spice up really boring sentences
(like this one)
* Top Ten lists on improving your
proofreading skills and ways to learn better
grammar
Just think how improving your speaking and
writing skills will help you in everyday
situations, such as writing a paper for school,
giving a presentation to your company's big wigs,
or communicating effectively with your family. You
will not only gain the confidence in knowing
you're speaking or writing well, but you'll also
make a good impression on those around you!
