Preface

to the Third Edition

Do you have trouble with punctuation? Are you frustrated

when you can’t remember whether to use a comma or a full

stop? Do you have difficulty constructing a sentence that

sounds right? If so, then this book should help you. Written

in an easy-to-read style, it takes you through the basics of

English grammar. It explains the various parts of speech

showing what role they each play in a sentence. It shows you

how to improve your writing by choosing the right words and

varying your sentence structure.

The use of the various punctuation marks is explained and

examples given. After reading this book, you will never

again use a comma instead of a full stop! There is a chapter

on the use of apostrophes. You are shown how to write

dialogue and even how to set out a play. There is a chapter

on avoiding the most common mistakes. At the end of each

chapter there are exercises which will help to reinforce what

you have learnt.

Written in a simple style with frequent headings, this book is

for anyone — of any age — who wishes to improve the

standard of his or her English.
