Description
One of the key factors in raising standards in English is the mastering of basic grammar. This book presents the rules of grammar and spelling in a simple and entertaining way, along with opportunities to practice and test the skills being learned. Originally intended for pupils at Secondary 1/2 level in Scotland or Key Stage 2/3 in England, this book is also suitable as a reference tool for anyone seeking a basic grounding in the English Language. Filled with practise activities, some take the form of written exercises, whilst others are suitable for discussion in pairs and groups. This book also covers topics such as word formation, sentence and paragraph structure, oral and written communication and figures of speech.
