Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
Toronto, Preface. These notes are the outcome of my own experience in teaching English Grammar, of the invaluable instruction of Professor Arber, and of the observations of my brother, Mr. W.A. Brockington, M.A., of the Mason College, Birmingham, England. They would not have been compiled, had it not been thought that they were in some measure needed. It will be noticed that attention is paid always to the duty that a word performs-what a word does. As far as possible the method is inductive, rules and definitions being based upon foregoing examples. A chief object in the arrangement of the book is to enable pupils to parse fairly completely at an early stage. Accordingly, a note on the relation of words in sentences is placed immediately after the definitions of the Parts of Speech. The compiler hopes that the suggested omission of the Abstract Noun, and the slight consideration of the Subjunctive Mood will meet with the approval of teachers. The Abstract Noun is unnecessary for the purposes of grammar, while the Subjunctive mood is rapidly disappearing from English.
