Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the principles of correct written English, building upon a foundation of grammatical theory and terminology. The author believes that knowledge of these principles is essential to writing correctly, and that such knowledge should be taught in conjunction with instruction in practical principles. The book proceeds on the principle that effective instruction requires not only clear statement but abundant drill. It provides abundant exercises composed of words commonly misspelled and irregular verbs frequently used incorrectly. The author also points out common errors such as the confusion of accept and except, to and too, lead and led, and provides practice in punctuation, spelling, capitalizing, the use and non-use of the hyphen and apostrophe. The author emphasizes the importance of developing the power of effective care and straight thinking, which are essential to good writing, and believes that the tasks connected with the thorough mastery of the elements of correctness are well-qualified in this respect.
