Overview

English Grammar Lessons covers the basics of word usage, including nouns, pronouns, verbs, propositions and adjectives. It shows how they work together to form sentences and ideas, and how misuse of grammar can lead to serious misunderstandings.

Nouns take on plural or singular meaning. Verbs take on past, present, and future tenses. The meaning of what we say depends on the correct word choices that we make. Of course, nouns and verbs are modified by adjectives and adverbs for greater descriptive value. Using all of the words at our disposal in the correct way makes our language sing with taste, color, and texture.

English Grammar Lessons also deals with words that are spelled alike or sound alike but must be treated differently in order to avoid confusion. Synonyms and homonyms can confuse and bewilder the best of us. Also, the rules of pronunciation can become confusing, and the book sets out the major rules that govern pronunciation.

In addition to grammar rules, the book shows how good and exciting composition can liven up a bit of prose and keep it from becoming dead and dull. Composition involves using words to create a vivid picture. Each word is like a brushstroke of bright color that paints a unique scene.

About the Author

Virginia Fidler has written a number of short stories and book and movie review. She has taught grammar and is currently working on a novel. Virginia moved considerably while growing up, thus needed to learn several languages before reaching her teens. This imbued her with a love of words. Each new language was a challenge, and she enjoyed learning as much as she could.

As she tried to master a new language, she experienced first-hand how difficult life could be without the proper means of communication. There were many moments of acute embarrassment when she brought people to laughter by using a wrong word.

That fascination with words and their usage has remained a steadfast in her life. It is a continuing learning experience.
