Fun book
I loved this book.It was an easy way to reinforce writing.
It gave simple instructions and examples of sentence structure which
encouraged my students to write and be creative.This is a straighforward
approach to add practice and challenge to a reluctant writers curriculum.

Easy Transaction
I was truly amazed at the speed delivery of my purchase. I needed this book quickly to incorporate it into my curriculum.I wanted a new book and that is exactly what I received.Thank you and I will do business with you again.

What a disappointment!
I use Easy Grammar Grammar Systems for teaching my homeschoolers grammar, so I assumed I'd like their writing book.What a huge disappointment!It teaches them to write like mechanized machines.A much better option was Jump In! from Apologia, and Story Starters.

Diappointing...
...I had used the author's grammar books and thought this one would apply her methods to writing...unfortunately, it is basically nothing but the exact same stuff as in the grammar books...useful for learning grammar and sentence structure but useless for paragraph synthesis or composition. ...

I find it absolutely astonishing that a book with a LIST price of $9.95 is posted for sale of USED copies at prices ranging from $115.xx to $199.xx.

Excerpt: In the Germanic languages, a strong verb is one which marks its past tense by means of ablaut. In English, these are verbs like sing, sang, sung. The term "strong verb" is a translation of German "starkes Verb", which was coined by the linguist Jacob Grimm and contrasts with the so-called "weak verb" ("schwaches Verb") which forms its past tense by means of a dental suffix. This article discusses the history of the forms of these verbs mainly in the West Germanic languages, i.e. English, German and Dutch, and the historical forms Old English, Old High German and Old Dutch. For other aspects of these verbs, see the overview article Germanic verb. As an example of the conjugation of a strong verb, we may take the Old English class 2 verb bodan, "to command" (cf. English "bid"). This has the following forms: While the inflections are more or less regular, the vowel changes in the stem are not predictable without an understanding of the Indo-European ablaut system, and students have to learn the principal parts by heart: bodan, bett, bad, budon, boden. The five principal parts are: Strictly speaking, in this verb ablaut causes only a threefold distinction: parts 1 and 2 are from the e-grade, part 3 from the o-grade, and parts 4 and 5 from the zero grade. The other two distinctions are caused by different kinds of regressive metaphony: part 2, when it is distinct at all, is always derived from part 1 by Umlaut. In some verbs, ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1745843 ... Read more

Product Description
This study attempts to account for the relationship between the structure of existential sentences (ES) and their meaning. The book begins by considering the syntactic structure of ES and showing how the derivation of these sentences is compatible with general principles that have been proposed within recent versions of transformational grammar. The central chapters concentrate on the range of semantic restrictions pointed out by Milsark. After reviewing a number of approaches to the classification of quantifiers, Lumsden develops an account based on the presuppositional properties of different quantified expressions. The concluding chapter shows how syntactic representations together with logical forms are interpreted by hearers using assumptions concerning the speaker, knowledge of the immediate situation and the previous discourse, together with other background assumptions and contextual inferences. ...
