Excerpt from Grammar to Use

The sentences for drill, examples of typical errors, and the list of idioms are illustrative of the actual usage of pupils. Proverbs and literary quotations have been avoided. The authors believe that the drill most likely to be effective is that which is most nearly in the everyday language of the pupil.

Perhaps the distinctive characteristic of the book is the emphasis which it places upon function as the basis for determining the classification and use of grammatical elements. The word, phrase, or clause is what its function in the sentence makes it. If the child can be made to understand clearly the nature of a sentence and of the work each part of speech does in a sentence, his most serious grammatical troubles will disappear. For such a method of development, an understanding of the sentence is necessary, and for this reason the treatment of that subject has been placed first.
