GRAMMAR FOR THE WELL-TRAINED MIND: COMPREHENSIVE HANDBOOK OF RULES

Designed to accompany the Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind program or stand on its own, this Grammar Guidebook assembles into one handy reference work all of the principles that govern the English language—from basic definitions (“A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea”) through advanced sentence structure and analysis. Each rule is illustrated with examples drawn from great literature, along with classic and contemporary works of science, history, and mathematics. Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind is an innovative program that combines the three essential elements of language learning: understanding and memorizing rules (prescriptive teaching), repeated exposure to examples of how those rules are used (descriptive instruction), and practice using those rules in exercises and in writing (practical experience).
