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 used with the preposition ON. Please answer the following questions:
Which topics do you need to brush up on for your next exam?
Do you know anyone who goes off on one when they get carried away? What do they bang on about?
How are you getting on with your English studies?
Would you be able to get by on half your current salary?
If you were laid off, who would you fall back on for support?
Has your company taken on any new employees recently?
Does/did anyone pick on the other children when you were at school?
