Description: Confused about when to use “its” or “it’s” or the correct spelling of “principal” and “principle”? My Grammar and I . . . Or Should That Be Me? is a refresher course for anyone who has ever been stumped by spelling confusion, dangling modifiers, split infinitives, or for those who have no idea what these things even are.
Clever, informative, and fun, this delightful little handbook offers practical and humorous guidance on how to avoid falling into language pitfalls.
This book is a lot of fun. You can read it just because it’s interesting or you can use it as a reference guide or a refresher.
It covers all the basics and those pesky things that you may forget or be confused about. There are chapters about:
- Spelling and Confusables
- Parts of Speach
- Sentence Structure
- Punctuation
- Elements of Style
The authors have a sense of humor and have made grammar fun. School would have been a lot easier if my teachers had made learning this fun.
The book will be enjoyable and helpful for adults and kids.
