An Introduction to English Grammar

An Introduction to English Grammar, 4th Edition, provides an accessible introduction to English grammatical theory and practical language applications. It establishes a foundation in structural analysis while demonstrating how grammatical concepts inform everyday writing and communication.

The volume covers foundational topics such as simple sentence components, word classes, phrase structures, and clauses. It connects these structural units to practical tasks, including addressing usage problems, refining style, and mastering punctuation and spelling.

Designed for beginning students in a one-semester course, this textbook assumes no prior knowledge of English grammar. Each chapter supplies two sets of exercises intended for self-study, classroom discussion, or essay assignments.
