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.

This advanced vocabulary course is designed to work in tandem with episodes on the US version of Sherlock called 'Elementary', and exercises on my website. You can find more grammar and vocabulary questions here:
https://www.skype-lessons.com/advanced-vocabulary/
I advise students to do the following: read the exercises, check any unknown vocabulary, watch the show, answer the questions, and then retell it using the target vocabulary and grammar. The retelling is necessary to activate new phrases in an easy to remember context. Please repeat the vocabulary using this video and the questions which accompany the video. Please subscribe for the whole course. Lessons will be released on a weekly basis. And please answer the following questions:
What's the most excruciating pain you have ever experienced?
Can you tell me the names of any prolific killers?
What are the effects of sleep deprivation?
Have you ever donated blood?
When was the last time you flagrantly broke the rules at work (or at school)?
Complete the sentences with your own ideas:
If Sherlock hadn't examined bruises on the corpse...
If the Angel of Death hadn't taken the bait...
If the head surgeon hadn't left a clamp around her heart...
to die of natural causes/cancer/a lethal wound
to treat (a patient)
Post mortem

Answers
1) If patients are in excruciating pain, we give them morphine to alleviate it
2) If the toxins build up in her body, they will endanger her life
3) We will spend the money on new wards if we raise enough in donations.
4) If I barricaded myself in the ward, I would be thrown out of the hospital.
5) If Watson were sued on the grounds of negligence, she might have lost her job.
6) If the head surgeon had told the police about his grave concerns, the relentless killer could have been stopped
7) If the head surgeon has a water tight alibi, he can't have committed the murders.
