Читать книгу Grammar: 1001 Practice Questions For Dummies (+ Free Online Practice) - Woods Geraldine, Geraldine Woods - Страница 6

This book contains 1,001 questions, divided into 22 chapters. I take you through parts of speech (verbs, pronouns, and so forth), parts of a sentence (subjects, verbs, objects, descriptions, and the like), and what English teachers call mechanics (punctuation and capitalization). I also cover the most common mistakes, such as incomplete sentences, commonly confused words, and nonstandard expressions. Each chapter begins with a list of topics, followed by tips and traps — points to remember when you’re answering the questions in that chapter. You don’t have to complete every question in a section, and you don’t have to work on the chapters in order. You’re in charge! Select only the topics that stump you, if you want. When you’re checking your answers and reading the attached explanations, you may discover other areas worth exploring. For example, suppose you’re asked to select the proper pronoun for a sentence. In the answer section, you see that you need a subject pronoun. The problem is that you’re not sure how to locate a subject. No worries: Turn to Chapter 4 for practice in finding subjects.
