Issues in Advanced Grammar: A Quick Review for Writers, Teachers, and Tutors

ISSUES IN ADVANCED GRAMMAR, now in Second Edition Revised in both print and e-book formats, is an inexpensive, student-friendly in tone and style review of the basics of English grammar and usage.  As its authors note, the material in the book is not so much advanced as is the attitude with which the material is presented and reviewed.  Based on more than ten years of classroom research by the authors, ISSUES IN ADVANCED GRAMMAR focuses on the four most common and recurring errors that post-secondary students and even college-educated adult writers chronically make in their written work:  spelling goofs, verb form and agreement goofs, pronoun form and agreement goofs, capitalization and punctuation goofs.  Along the way, the book also thoroughly reviews and re-explains what it calls “two language of grammar,” the Parts of Speech approach to analysis and the Elements of Sentences approach, among other things explaining in detail the eight basic sentence-structure patterns on which English relies.  Paperback and spiral-bound in its print format, ISSUES IN ADVANCED GRAMMAR is half instructional material and half drill-and-practice sets supporting that instructional material.
