Publisher's Synopsis
Many decades ago, young Australian students were given exercises to extend their vocabulary, spell correctly, pronounce words well, and construct grammatically sound sentences. Now, the language foundations left behind look quaint. Arguing that these rules are still useful, this reference explains grammar rules while providing lists and exercises to improve word use. Teaching the correct uses of prepositions, pronouns, apostrophes, conjunctions, plurals, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives, this text will appeal to educators and wordsmiths alike.
