This is a gem for someone who understands grammar. Rachel Grenon’s discussion is carefully crafted. There are many statements to remember and one of them is that language is structured from morphemes to words to phrases to clauses. This small book is for people who understand and want to know a little more about grammar, but it is not for the novice. The author even says that this book is for someone who has some notion of grammar. This is a book one will read more than once.
