Description
Selby's Essential College English is an excellent grammar workbook that provides a complete, clear treatment of the rules of grammar and punctuation.
Incorporating a friendly and engaging tone throughout, the authors focus on the traditional principles of basic, sentence-level grammar and usage. Each chapter begins with a practice "Find the Error" activity, progresses to lessons and numerous exercises to reinforce each lesson, and concludes with further review and editing tests to help students retain what they have learned in each chapter. This text also provides a greater emphasis on writing as well as journal and writing assignments at the end of each chapter.
