Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Do you worry that your understanding of English grammar isnt what it should be? It may not be your fault. For hundreds of years, vague and confused ideas about how to state the rules have been passed down from one generation to the next. The available books for the general reader thousands of them, shamelessly plagiarizing each other repeat the same misguided definitions and generalizations that appeared in the schoolbooks used by your great-great-grandparents.Geoffrey K. Pullum thinks you deserve better. In this book he breaks away from the tradition. Presupposing no prior knowledge or technical terms, he provides an informal introduction to the essential concepts underlying grammar and usage. With his foundation, you will be equipped to understand the classification of words, the structure of phrases and clauses, and why some supposed grammar rules are really just myths. Also covered are some of the key points about spelling, apostrophes, hyphens, capitalization, and punctuation.Illuminating, witty, and incisive,The Truth About English Grammaris a vital book for all who love writing, reading, and thinking about English. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
