Sentence Improvement: A Practice Book in Applied Grammar (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sentence Improvement: A Practice Book in Applied Grammar

This study involves not only a knowledge of sen tence elements and grammatical structure, but also a sense of their comparative values, together with practice in criticizing and improving the pupil's own work.

Grammar treated in this way leads naturally to a consideration of the principles of composition work. In actual speech and writing the two are so closely related as to be inseparable. It follows that the work in this book involves many of the simpler rhetorical principles. The book, therefore, fills \a natural place between the early language and grammar work of the pupil and his later work in rhetoric and composition in the secondary school.
