Description

It is the authors' intention to treat writing as an extension of speech - to speak correctly is the key to learning to write and use grammar correctly. Grammar in the native speaker is a built-in skill, rather than an added-on one and the best sense for grammar is in the ear. They suggest that there are not errors of bad grammar; instead, there are errors of inappropriate usage. The book offers full coverage of the writing process, the patterns of paragraph development, sentence grammar and mechanics and usage. Contextual exercises, writing examples and explanations of grammar rules appear throughout. - from Amzon
