INTRODUCTION
The English language has its grammar outline. This outline is all about
medium and convention that determines and guides how to speak and write.
In grammar, this outline includes word spelling, word inflection, and word
arrangement in sentence making. More importantly, the English language is
not static; rather, it is dynamic. The language has gone through much
evolution from the days of retaining German forms of the plural of some
words until now. Therefore, communication requires adequate and proper
understanding of grammar.
I am Melony Jacobs, a 52-year-old professional editor and proofreader. I
studied writing and the English language in university. Hence, you can count
on my experience and expertise to help you to be more effective as a speaker
and writer of one of the most popular languages in the world. I am committed
to learning and that is why I read at least a book every week. I have come
across many common mistakes people make when they speak and write.
Therefore, I have decided to do my share to help others by putting this
material together.
I am on a personal quest to help people improve their English grammar skills.
This book came about because I believe a book is the best way to put all the
information together in a coherent manner. English grammar simply means
how the English language is structured. It is a ‘system’ of how the English
language hangs together. It is really necessary that you develop a good
grammar structure for many reasons, as stated below:
To have clear communication: Clear communication is
fundamental for any individual. The biggest problem that
arises from poor grammar is unclear communication. People
tend to have incoherence in speeches simply because of
grammatical blunder. If you make a mistake of including a
singular verb where inappropriate, you may communicate a
wrong message.
For example, if you are just deplaned and you say; “Our flight time is
approximately forty-two minutes,” “ The person you’re talking to may think
you haven"t boarded the plane at all. However, the correct thing to say is:
“Our flight time was approximately forty-two minutes.” (past tense)
