English Sentences Faisal M Al-Mohanna

This is a book on the basics of English sentences. It contains five chapters, each of which comprises a number of sections with related exercises and exercise answers. The focus throughout is on sentences, their functions, structures, and some of the most common errors in sentence grammar and punctuation. The first two chapters, however, introduce parts of speech (word classes) and multi-word structures, viz. phrases, clauses, and sentences. Each chapter focuses on a specific area, presenting the topics in detail and offering as many and as diverse examples as required. Topics are followed by exercises that mainly require written answers in sentence form, keeping to the minimum questions that involve Multiple choice, True-False or Fill-in blanks. Books on English grammar are available for readers and learners with different backgrounds and varying levels of English language proficiency. This book does not aim to provide a textbook/exercise book that is entirely unique in its content and/or capacity. Simply, it is an attempt to focus on the specifics of the sentence in the English language, mainly targeting learners at an intermediate or advanced level who might be embarking on an English language writing course. In addition, the work could be considered as a concise and easily accessible reference (or manual) on the basics of English sentences, for teachers and students alike. More precisely, the book aims to provide a foundation that helps learners who want to be perceived as competent in producing well-formed grammatical sentences, analysing the grammatical structure of sentences, interpreting mainstream grammatical terminology, and recognising common sentence errors.
