Schaum’s Outline of English Grammar
The study of English grammar has two principal advantages. It facilitates mastery of writing and enables students to study the grammar of other languages more effectively. This third edition of English Grammar was developed to make the study of English grammar as current and as effective as possible for all students, whether or not English is their first language. A Glossary of Grammatical Terms, at the start of the text, is provided as a reference to be used at any time. I hope that students will continue to find the exercises and explanations helpful.
Chapter 1 discusses the principal elements of the sentence, and the next six chapters provide information and practice in all the parts of speech: nouns and articles, verbs and verbals, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions and conjunctions. Each chapter of the book first presents necessary definitions and discussions, complete with examples. This presentation is then followed by exercises designed to help the student achieve mastery of the subject. Answers to all exercises are provided at the end of the book. The student is advised to work step by step through each chapter, doing each exercise in turn and checking the answers before proceeding further.
The previous editions of Schaum’s Outline of English Grammar were originally written by Daniel Murphy and by me. Professor Murphy, my longtime colleague, now is deceased, so this new edition is dedicated to him.
