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.
Here is an English lesson on some of the most common phrasal verbs which contain the verb KEEP. Answer the following questions:
1) How do you keep abreast of what's going on in the world?
2) When you set about a difficult task do you tend to keep at it until it's done, or give up at the first hurdle?
3) Who or what keeps you from achieving your short term goals?
4) Do you manage to keep to the schedule at work, or do you often fall behind?
5) Do you tend to keep secrets to yourself, or do you prefer to let others in on them?
6) Who keeps on at you, or what do they keep on about?
7) Do your neighbours keep the noise down at night?

This lesson examines when we use commas in participle clauses. Firstly, we look at participle clauses at the front of a sentence (always use a comma) and then we look at participle clauses at the end of a sentence (sometimes we need a comma.) We will see that the addition of a comma can completely change the meaning of a sentence
