Download or read book Advance English Grammar Part II written by Chandan Sengupta and published by Chandan Sukumar Sengupta. This book was released on with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workbook is prepared to address the need of fellow aspirants of different competitive examinations duly conducted time to time by various boards of studies. We also wanted to cover up the need of students having eagerness to develop their skills through self studies. It is not merely a gguide book. This workbook cannot introduce any learner simply to the mechanism of correct use of grammar related rules of speaking and writing. Primary knowledge of Grammar and Composition is required before moving through this workbook. Types of questions asked in exams are of similar pattern. Contents, in some cases, may differ. These materials are collected from our daily use of English. It would be better if fellow students start talking in English in a group made up of few of the selected friends working in a closed user group. It would be more convenient if such group start interacting through electronic media and through other suitable means. Another fruitful initiative will be following electronic media, news channels, analytics and other sources of information and views so as to collections of vocabulary will be increased. Collection and use of new words will definitely increase the grasping of students on the process of writing and representation of facts in speech. One can even aspire for an enhancement in the linguistic skill by following stories and compositions made by famous authors. Initiatives of any kind will be accepted and quantified in accord to the coverage of selected areas of competencies. The related fields of studies are linked together in such a way that they cannot be addressed individually through focused study materials. We simply put them in a definite order to link up our efforts to gain linguistic competencies of desired types.
