How to Speak and Write It Right

Sharpen your language skills and navigate your way around grammatical minefields with this entertaining and practical guide. For anyone who has ever been stumped by dangling modifiers and split infinitives, or for those who have no idea what these things even are, My Grammar and I...Or Should That Be Me? offers practical and humorous guidance on how to avoid falling into language pitfalls. Here are all the right tools to help you gain confidence as a speaker and writer, highlighting the most common language errors, such as wrongly used prepositions, misplaced modifiers, and confusing participles.

This refreshing refresher course covers:
? Spelling and Confusables-There are times when the spelling rule "i before e except after c" does not apply
? Parts of Speech-Is it "its" or "it's"? "Whose" or "who's"?
? Sentence Structure-Let us ponder the subject, or object, of "I" and "me"
? Punctuation-So where does a comma go?
? Elements of Style-There is more to grammar than knowing the difference between a subordinate object and a nonrestrictive apostrophe

And, for those grammar know-it-alls, there are entertaining "Smart Aleck" trivia, anecdotes, witticisms, and more. Clever and informative, this is the ideal gift for all English-language sticklers.

This illustrated grammar workbook teaches middle school children the grammar concepts they need to know before proceeding to more advanced lessons.

The lessons are extremely well explained and are easy to understand, giving students the opportunity to develop a solid foundation in grammar.

Included are the study of:


 * types of sentences
 * compound sentences
 * complex sentences
 * appositives
 * prepositional phrases
 * verb tenses
 * verb phrases
 * principal parts
 * progressive aspects and emphatic forms
 * active and passive voice
 * pattern one sentences
 * pattern two sentences
 * pattern three sentences
 * pattern four sentences
 * pattern five sentences
 * adjective clauses
 * noun clauses
 * adverbial clauses
 * participles
 * gerunds
 * infinitives
 * and more


(Also includes sentence composition, allowing students the opportunity to apply the grammar they've learned.)

An excellent grammar book because it makes grammar easy to understand and easy to learn.

A Fundamental Guide to Punctuation

Are you confounded by commas, addled by apostrophes, or queasy about quotation marks? Do you believe a bracket is just a support for a wall shelf, a dash is something you make for the bathroom, and a colon and semicolon are large and small intestines? If so, language humorists Richard Lederer and John Shore (with the sprightly aid of illustrator Jim McLean), have written the perfect book to help make your written words perfectly precise and punctuationally profound.
Don't expect "Comma Sense" to be a dry, academic tome. On the contrary, the authors show how each mark of punctuation--no matter how seemingly arcane--can be effortlessly associated with a great American icon: the underrated yet powerful period with Seabiscuit; the jazzy semicolon with Duke Ellington; even the rebel apostrophe with famed outlaw Jesse James. But this book is way more than a flight of whimsy. When you've finished "Comma Sense, "you'll not only have mastered everything you need to know about punctuation through Lederer and Shore's simple, clear, and right-on-the-mark rules, you'll have had fun doing so. When you're done laughing and learning, you'll be a veritable punctuation whiz, ready to make your marks accurately, sensitively, and effectively.
