At last! Here is a book that covers all the intricacies of the most complex language on the planet. In clear concise text Ms. Scott explains the prescriptive rules of English Grammar: a must for those students whose first language was other than English, those who find the subject boring and difficult, and those whose professional careers cannot advance without better English skills. This book will not only tell you the rule, it will tell you why the rule is important, and how to use it. To reinforce the rules there are pages and pages of practice sheets, so that when it is time to compose that all important paper, one has all the tools necessary to do the job. Written by a long time teacher of English whose work with students unfamiliar with proper grammar prompted the composition of this work, Ms. Scott is not only a retired teacher on the community college level, Dean of Academics at Sawyer College Pomona, (Ret.), but also the author of several books, poems and plays. Ms. Scott received her degrees, cum laude, from California State Polytechnic University at Pomona.
