Errors in English Composition: In two Parts

About The Book: This book explores the subject of Errors in English Composition, divided into two parts. Entitled "Errors in English Composition," it focuses on improving, refining, or validating sentences with grammatical, structural, or sequential flaws. By drawing examples mainly from recent journalism, it aims to address prevalent inaccuracies in contemporary writing. Unlike similar publications, it presents solutions separately at the end, encouraging students to independently analyze and correct sentences before confirming answers. This approach helps refine composition skills and familiarizes students with common errors and their remedies. Suitable for both self-study and classroom use, the book includes explanatory notes on foundational principles. While the author expresses personal opinions on contentious grammar and structural issues, readers are urged to form their own perspectives. Emphasizing oral, spontaneous responses to exercises, the book effectively enhances error detection skills.
