A Student's Introduction to English Grammar

by Rodney D. Huddleston, Geoffrey K. Pullum

Description

A clear, accessible introduction to the structure of modern English, this book guides students through the essentials of grammar with precision and practical insight. It explains how words, phrases, clauses, and sentences are formed and how they function, using carefully chosen examples to illuminate both familiar patterns and common misconceptions. Designed to develop analytical as well as communicative skills, it presents grammar as a coherent system rather than a collection of rigid rules. Ideal for students beginning the study of linguistics or English grammar, the book combines scholarly accuracy with an engaging, approachable style.
