It is the author's intention to treat writing as an extension of one' speech; to speak correctly is the key to learning to write and use grammar correctly. Grammar in the native speaker is a built-in skill, rather than an added on one and the best sense for grammar is in the ear. They suggest that there are not errors of bad grammar; instead, there are errors of inappropriate usage. The book offers full coverage of the writing process, the patterns of paragraph development, sentence grammar, and mechanics and usage. Abundant contextual exercises, writing examples and careful explanations of grammar rules appear throughout the book. For any one looking to refresh their fundamental grammar skills or in need of a book to serve as a primary reference.

From the Publisher This is a proces-oriented, skills-based writing text that takes studens form writing sentences to writing paragraphs. From the Back Cover Key Benefit: This innovative, confidence-building workbook is based on the assumption that people have a built-in “ear” for language—i.e., can “hear” the patterns and rhythms that underlie speaking fluency and that fluency in writing can be developed by applying this inner “ear.” Key Topics: A multitude of exercises, assignments, and writing suggestions give readers opportunity to use this “inner ear” to develop their writing, editing, and revising skills and understanding of basic grammar. The three part organization allows the readers to focus on either writing paragraphs, writing sentences, or mechanics, or to work in any sequence they choose.
