Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... APPENDIX A. PUNCTUATION AND OTHEB KINDS OF NOTATION (301) Punctuation is the method of dividing a written composition into sentences, or parts of sentences, by points or stops, for the purpose of regulating the movement of the reader both in time and in modulation. The Comma is the lightest note, then the Semicolon, thirdly the Colon, and the fullest is the Period. The points are marked in the following manner: The Comma (, ), The Semicolon (;), The Colon (: ), The Period (.). The Comma indicates the shortest pause that has a note; the Semicolon a pause double that of the Comma; the Colon, double that of the Semicolon; the Period, double that of the Colon. These points mark the pauses of the movement, but there are others which suggest a peculiar modulation of voice, in harmony with the sense. These are-- The note of Interrogation (?), as: 'Are you sincere?' The note of Exclamation ( ), as: 'How awful ' The Parenthesis (), as: ' The occurrence of meteorites (which in past times has more than once been questioned) is now beyond all dispute.' Instead of these parenthetic curves, the double dash is now very generally employed. Thus: 'I told him--it is the way of society--that we should be glad to see him, and we parted ' (F. B. Stockton, 'Kudder Grange '). (302) The following signs are also useful to know: The mark of Elision, thus ('), indicates the omission of a letter, or letters, as tl1o', judyd. The Caret, marked thus (a); as ' I " DEGREES sorry.' The Acute Accent, marked thus ('); as 'Fancy.' The Grave Accent, thus ('); as ' Enthroned in thy sovereign sphere' (Keble). Both Accents are exemplified in the following line: They spied a knight that towards pricked fair. 'Faery Queene, ' in. i. 4. In this example we see the chief use that is now.

Download or read book English Grammar For Dummies written by Geraldine Woods and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-16 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few years ago, a magazine sponsored a contest for the comment most likely to end a conversation. The winning entry? "I teach English grammar." Just throw that line out at a party; everyone around you will clam up or start saying "whom." Why does grammar make everyone so nervous? Probably because English teachers, for decades – no, for centuries – have been making a big deal out of grammar in classrooms, diagramming sentences and drilling the parts of speech, clauses, and verbals into students until they beg for mercy. Happily, you don't have to learn all those technical terms of English grammar – and you certainly don't have to diagram sentences – in order to speak and write correct English. So rest assured – English Grammar For Dummies will probably never make your English teacher's top-ten list of must-read books, because you won't have to diagram a single sentence. What you will discover are fun and easy strategies that can help you when you're faced with such grammatical dilemmas as the choice between "I" and "me," "had gone" and "went," and "who" and "whom." With English Grammar For Dummies, you won't have to memorize a long list of meaningless rules (well, maybe a couple in the punctuation chapter!), because when you understand the reason for a particular word choice, you'll pick the correct word automatically. English Grammar For Dummies covers many other topics as well, such as the following: Verbs, adjectives, and adverbs – oh my! Preposition propositions and pronoun pronouncements Punctuation: The lowdown on periods, commas, colons, and all those other squiggly marks Possession: It's nine-tenths of grammatical law Avoiding those double negative vibes How to spice up really boring sentences (like this one) Top Ten lists on improving your proofreading skills and ways to learn better grammar Just think how improving your speaking and writing skills will help you in everyday situations, such as writing a paper for school, giving a presentation to your company's big wigs, or communicating effectively with your family. You will not only gain the confidence in knowing you're speaking or writing well, but you'll also make a good impression on those around you!

Book excerpt: The Way of The Linguist, A language learning odyssey. It is now a cliché that the world is a smaller place. We think nothing of jumping on a plane to travel to another country or continent. The most exotic locations are now destinations for mass tourism. Small business people are dealing across frontiers and language barriers like never before. The Internet brings different languages and cultures to our finger-tips. English, the hybrid language of an island at the western extremity of Europe seems to have an unrivalled position as an international medium of communication. But historically periods of cultural and economic domination have never lasted forever. Do we not lose something by relying on the wide spread use of English rather than discovering other languages and cultures? As citizens of this shrunken world, would we not be better off if we were able to speak a few languages other than our own? The answer is obviously yes. Certainly Steve Kaufmann thinks so, and in his busy life as a diplomat and businessman he managed to learn to speak nine languages fluently and observe first hand some of the dominant cultures of Europe and Asia. Why do not more people do the same? In his book The Way of The Linguist, A language learning odyssey, Steve offers some answers. Steve feels anyone can learn a language if they want to. He points out some of the obstacles that hold people back. Drawing on his adventures in Europe and Asia, as a student and businessman, he describes the rewards that come from knowing languages. He relates his evolution as a language learner, abroad and back in his native Canada and explains the kind of attitude that will enable others to achieve second language fluency. Many people have taken on the challenge of language learning but have been frustrated by their lack of success. This book offers detailed advice on the kind of study practices that will achieve language breakthroughs. Steve has developed a language learning system available online at: www.thelinguist.com.

Download or read book English Grammar Simplified written by James C. Fernald and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-11 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. This book is designed as a complete summary of English grammar. It is not of the class of small grammars that are made brief by leaving out bodily numerous important matters. Brevity is here secured by eliminating discussions and extended explanations, while retaining every important fact. The aim is to include everything in correct English usage that is a legitimate subject of rational inquiry for practical purposes. The method of Direct Statement has been followed throughout. Interesting as the philosophy of language is, school children, clerks, stenographers, business men, have not time-nor ability-to work out by "induction" the facts of English usage established during the five centuries since the death of Chaucer. The attempt to do so is but playing with the impossible. The result of that system is to give the student the feeling that grammar is guesswork- "sometimes you can guess it, and sometimes not." So he goes on guessing through his life, and half the time guessing wrong. The facts of correct English usage are, for the most part, as sure as the facts of the working of a watch or of a locomotive. We can do no better service for any student, young or old, than to tell him definitely what those facts are, and let him learn them once for al1. These definitely settled facts are sometimes given as "rules," but since many persons have the feeling that a grammatical "rule" is something arbitrarily inflicted upon the language by grammarians, the author has here deemed it preferable, in most cases, to state the accepted facts of English usage simply as facts, rather than in the form of "rules." The facts so stated will be found to be such. They have been verified by extensive study of the best authorities, including the New English Dictionary of Dr. Murray, with its unrivalled store of quotations from standard English authors from the thirteenth century to the present time; Maetzner's English Grammar, a work of wonderful philosophical acumen, also rich in quotations from standard English authors; Goold Brown's remarkable compilation in his Grammar of English Grammars, and the most prominent text-books on grammar now in accredited use in the public schools. Statements which are given, seemingly off-hand, in some few lines', are always the result of careful, and often of protracted, study. The aim has been to make every statement in the highest degree dependable -- safe to rely upon and to act upon. So constructed, it is believed that this brief work is not excelled in accuracy by the most pretentious volumes now before the public. To have such results massed in a compact and handy volume is a distinct desideratum.
