Many students of English as a second language are daunted by the complexities of English grammar and its terminology. This user-friendly book was written especially for them. The emphasis here is on practical use of written and spoken American-style English, rather than on theory.
The first of the book's 15 chapters explains different kinds of sentences-affirmative, negative, and interrogative, as well as clauses and phrases that are component parts of many sentences. Several chapters that follow focus on different parts of speech, describing their uses in verbal and written communication. The book's later chapters discuss vocabulary, standard protocols in conversational speech, and modes of expression, such as preferences and dislikes. A separate chapter presents guidelines for composing letters, e-mails, resumes, and other written forms. Short quizzes for self-testing appear throughout the text, with answers given at the back of the book.
學(xué)習(xí)英文的讀者常被英語(yǔ)的復(fù)雜文法和慣用語(yǔ)所苦惱。本書(shū)針對(duì)有這方面問(wèn)題的學(xué)習(xí)者，以深入淺出的方式，把英語(yǔ)慣用法范疇與英文文法中的一些重點(diǎn)、難點(diǎn)、疑點(diǎn)以及容易混淆的問(wèn)題進(jìn)行歸納整理。
前十五章提出各種句型的相關(guān)使用，包括肯定句、否定句、疑問(wèn)句，以及構(gòu)成句型的片語(yǔ)與英文詞類的形態(tài)和用法。后幾個(gè)章節(jié)則包括會(huì)話、動(dòng)詞的使用與寫(xiě)作的溝通技巧上需注意的相關(guān)事項(xiàng)。
