UNDERSTANDING AND USING GOOD GRAMMAR

A sequel to Steps to Good Grammar, these reproducible lessons, exercises, and tests provide a system of review, analysis, and application to supplement any grammar text. After reviewing the basic sentence in the first section, students move to more advanced lessons on effective expression, direct objects, prepositional phrases, indirect objects, linking verbs, appositives, nouns of direct address, pronouns, verbs, verbals used as nouns, adjectives, adverbs, noun clauses, and absolute phrases. Clearly diagrammed sample sentences help students understand construction and the use of each grammatical element. The lessons feature detailed teaching guides, while answer keys and grading scales accompany each test and activity. Grades 8–12. 8½” x 11″. J. Weston Walch. 376 pages. Revised edition. ©1997.
