Just the Basics of English Grammar teaches only the most common and necessary grammar rules in clear, easy to understand language. Each section is followed by several exercises and answer keys so you can practice the concepts and polish your writing skills. Many grammar workbooks are not only overpriced, but tend to overwhelm readers with long explanations or dwell on uncommon exceptions to the rules. Just the Basics of English Grammar provides an affordable, minimalist approach to teaching sentence correctness and style. Topics covered in this workbook include sentence fragments, run-on sentences, punctuation, shifts in tense, faulty parallelism, wordy sentences, tips for improving style, and more.
