What are word classes? How can we recognize them? What role do they play in regards to punctuation? Grammar in Theory and in Practice was written for those who want straight answers, in plain English, to these crucial, yet rarely asked, questions.This essential guide empowers students to identify parts of speech rapidly, to employ punctuation marks confidently, and to examine syntax precisely, in four popular GCSE texts: Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, Frankenstein, and 1984. Grammatical categories are neatly defined in the glossary, and each chapter is packed with practical and demanding exercises, testing your knowledge of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, and prepositions. Topics range from the relatively simple, such as common pronoun errors or subject-verb agreement problems, to the somewhat complex, such as appositives, participles, or rhetorical devices. At the end of the course, there is a large punctuation section that revises the usage of commas, colons, semicolons, hyphens, and apostrophes.
How do we use the verbs 'look', 'see' and 'watch'? In this English lesson we will find out the differences between these 3 verbs, and then look at many other verbs which express actions of the eyes. Here is a quiz which can test your knowledge

This lesson examines existential clauses and indefinite articles in more detail. We shall see that the indefinite article is used to affirm the existence of a noun, without referring to a definite object. The following sentences are good examples:
What an amazing performance!
It's such a wonderful hotel.
He's a man of profound vision.
Newton is a man renowned for writing the Principia.
Russia is a country still overshadowed by its 1998 default.
This course will clarify the role played by both 'a' and 'the' and 'no article'.
