Wait, It Sounded Right at the Time: 50 More Ways We Accidentally Break English - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

An email that makes no sense. A job interview derailed by one tiny word. A family vacation where even the prepositions get lost. Welcome back to Bad Grammar, Good Stories.

In Wait, It Sounded Right at the Time, Nicholas J. Hartley brings you 50 more entertaining grammar lessons through comic misadventures involving Frank, Linda, Susan, Brian, Nick, John Paul, Uncle Tony, and the formidable Ms. Parker. From apostrophes that change everything and verbs that refuse to cooperate to confusing pronouns, missing prepositions, and punctuation with alarming consequences, every chapter shows how ordinary English can create extraordinary trouble.

Each bite-sized episode pairs a humorous story with a practical rule, a quick shortcut, clear before-and-after examples, and a memorable takeaway. Ideal for native speakers, English learners, and anyone who wants to write with more confidence without sitting through a dry grammar lecture.

Laugh at the mistakes. Learn the fixes. And discover why sounding right isn't always the same as being right.
