Language Lessons: Elements of English Grammar (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Language Lessons: Elements of English Grammar

The treatment of the verb is different from that in most text-books. The discussion Of mood is brief, but it opens the way for a fuller understanding of this difficult subject in the high school, after the pupil has become more mature.

It is assumed that in most schools this book will not be studied in grades below the seventh year of the course.
