Publisher Description:
Applications of Grammar Book 6 teaches students basic and advanced grammatical rules and principles. Paragraphs and composition, participial phrases, gerunds and infinitives, adverbs, adjectives, noun and pronoun clauses, mood of verbs and other concepts are all covered. Lessons contain explanations of the principles followed by examples and exercises. Students who complete this workbook will learn how to successfully complete complex composition projects. This book also provides instruction to increase vocabulary and spelling skills. Additional material is included on the proper use of grammar in the process of writing.
As the title implies, the emphasis is on applying grammar rules to writing. The program stresses correct sentence structure, sentence diagramming, and good paragraph formation. As with all Christian Liberty Press books, this series is God-honoring as well. All grammar books cover pretty much the same material, so what stands out about this series? First of all, the biblical content. In addition, a student could learn a great deal of history just by reading the excerpts of various literary works used as examples. Each lesson begins with a clear explanation of a topic and gives examples to drive home the point. Tables are used to demonstrate concepts like person, tense, and voice. Exercises have an adequate but not excessive amount of practice for each skill. Later sections of the book focus on word usage and more advanced literary concepts. Students then use these skills in writing paragraphs, short stories or newspaper articles.
These materials offer complete coverage of both writing and grammar.
