It is likely that more school grades are pulled down because of poor writing than any other cause. Often the student is knowledgeable about the subject, but simply does not have the skills to express himself or herself in clear, correct English.
Here is a cram course on grammar that can be read—and understood--in just a few hours. It discusses lu-cidly-even pleasurably—nouns, pronouns, verbs, mod-ifiers, conjunctions and prepositions, punctuation, and sentences--including eight clues that ensure sentences will work properly.
Checkup quizzes follow each section; answers are given at the end of the book.
