From the Publisher
Introduction
When you learn about the grammar of your own language, the most important thing to remember is that you already know most of it. Every time you open your mouth to speak, you are using grammar without even realizing it!
Verbs and Subjects
Verbs describe actions, such as run, jump, and play. The person or thing that does the action of the verb is the subject. The subject always comes before the verb.
Prepositions
Some prepositions tell us when something happens. Some prepositions link nouns in other ways.
Conjunctions
Some sentences are quite simple and only give one idea. If you want to join more than one idea together in the same sentence, you can use a conjunction to link the ideas.
Words scattered around on their own don’t mean very much. Words are like pieces of a jigsaw. We need to fit them together properly to make meaning.
Exclamations, commands, questions, direct speech and reported speech, sentences, statements, clauses, adverbials, noun phrases, active and passive sentences are all covered!
You can use a semicolon to join two sentences together to show that the ideas are closely linked. Never use a capital letter after a semicolon unless it’s the first letter of a proper noun.
Includes questions like: What do the quotation marks show? What does the colon introduce? What is there at the end of the story, instead of a period? What does it suggest?
