Inhaltsangabe


The sometimes confusing and less than interesting rules of grammar can be quite daunting or mind numbing. Where does one begin?... Most people, it seems, would like to have some knowledge of the rudimentary elements of grammar but are unsure of how to begin and would agree that grammar is a mystery.

The Grammar Detective invites readers to come to grips with English grammar by solving a series of short murder mysteries, each of them illustrated. These are followed by further exercises-word searches, crosswords and puzzles-to help introduce and reinforce grammatical skills and knowledge. The book introduces aspects of grammar such as nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, clauses and phrases,and includes a variety of test exercises. It also demystifies punctuation, and explains periods, colons, semi-colons and speech marks.

This fun and engaging book is an ideal introduction to English grammar for students, or a handy refresher course for those whose knowledge of grammar and punctuationis a little rusty.
