A practical and colorful guide to discovering how the English language works, Doing Grammar is a compact volume that is invaluable for students in advanced grammar courses. In an engaging style, Max Morenberg uses modern linguistic theories to build upon traditional frameworks and provide accessible explanations about the composition of sentences. Using real-life sentences as examples and exercises and abundant diagrams and other visual models, the author clarifies the study of grammar without oversimplifying the concepts.
Now in its fourth edition, Doing Grammar retains its unique voice, clarity and organization, but has been streamlined with a renewed focus on the key skills necessary for writing the perfect sentence. For the first time, the book features a glossary of terms and an expanded table of contents for easy reference. With updated examples, as well as new and fascinating anecdotes on how grammar relates to students' everyday lives, Morenberg once again makes a seemingly dry subject come alive.
This edition features a new printed instructor's manual, free to adopters. The manual includes an answer key to those in-text exercises not answered at the back of the book, additional activities and test questions, teaching tips, sample syllabi, and a guide to developing syllabi developing syllabi.
