Basic English Grammar For Dummies is the bestselling grammar guide that's perfect for readers who want to improve their knowledge of the English language. This well-rounded primer covers the building blocks of English grammar, giving you an introduction to parts of speech, sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization, and more. Real-world examples help you understand the rules of Standard English — and when you can break them! You can test your progress with quiz questions on every topic. This updated edition explains current usage (including pronouns and presentation slides) and gives you handy rules to remember, so you can speak and write with confidence. Make the English language learning process engaging and stress-free with this Dummies guide.

The goal of Basic English Grammar For Dummies, 2nd edition, is to help you improve your speaking and writing skills, not to add fancy grammar terms to your vocabulary. For this reason, I explain what you need to know in ordinary, nonteacher language. If I can’t avoid a technical term, I immediately define it and provide examples. With every grammar rule, I give you a few practice questions. I also provide the answers, so you can check whether you’ve understood the concept. If I mention an idea but do not explain it immediately, I direct you to a chapter that contains more information.
