Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Caroline Taggart worked in publishing as an editor of popular non-fiction for thirty years before being asked by Michael O'Mara Books to write I Used to Know That, which became a Sunday Times bestseller. Following that she was co-author of My Grammar and I (or should that be 'Me'?), and wrote a number of other books about words and English usage. She has appeared frequently on television and on national and regional radio, talking about language, grammar and whether or not Druids Cross should have an apostrophe.

Jacquie Wines is a writer, compiler and editor. She has written several titles for Michael O’Mara Books including, with co-author Caroline Taggart, the best-selling My Grammar and I (or should that be ‘Me’?).

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Can you tell when a sentence contains more clichés than you’ve had hot dinners? Is a preposition necessarily a bad thing to end a sentence with? Are you able to immediately spot a split infinitive?

Whether your schooling in English grammar amounted to ‘a verb is a doing word and a noun is a naming word’, or whether you simply want to brush up your existing skills, this wittily observed book is guaranteed to enlighten and entertain.

‘ ... will do for grammar what Eats, Shoots and Leaves did for punctuation.’ – The Times
