Understand the rules, and you will be surprised how easy grammar becomes.
The updated workbook Clear Writing: Language and Grammar is a perfect reference book for students who wish to master the specifications relating to grammar and punctuation as outlined in the Australian Curriculum from Years 7 to 10.
Students will effortlessly become the best in the class by systematically following the simple to the complex rules of grammar.
For example, you will learn about adverbs, adverb phrases and adverb clauses, not in isolation, but in a systematic progression of knowledge. You will learn how subordinate conjunctions are the clue to adverb clauses and why a knowledge of such phrases and clauses is critical to correct punctuation.
Why bother?
A knowledge of grammar helps you write to impress. Your essays will stand out. Why?
(Not the least because many do not know the rules of grammar!)
Such a knowledge ensures that you:
- understand the parts of speech so that you can write accurately, fluently and in a more sophisticated style;
- have a clear knowledge of phrase and clause structures so that you can punctuate clearly and write complex sentences with a clear subject and clear or multiple predicates; and
- iron out “awkward” expression, such as overuse of passive sentences, dangling phrases or incorrect use of repetition.
Test yourself: How well do you know your grammar? This revision exercise is based on the grammar rules you should know as outlined in the Australian Curriculum up to Year 10.
After a series of lessons based on this grammar book, you will effortlessly identify these grammar components. (See Specialist Classes: Grammar)
