mommyshanti Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Any books your grammartarians would recommend to an adult trying to improve her grammar? TIA:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 My ESL students like Cozy Grammar, but I like it less for the LD students. They get a little too cozy :lol: and get out of learning mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

css3238 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Elements of Style. No question. Best book a writer could read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 1. DailyGrammar.com sells an e-workbook. You can also do the lessons online for free, but the workbook puts it all in one place. It doesn't involve diagramming. 2. KISS grammar has a one-semester course for adults which is online on the web site. 3. I used a free typed-up copy of Harvey's Elementary Grammar to revise with the basic concepts. 4. www.englishgrammar101.com has a complete, FREE online program, which I've not used. 5. Robert Einarsson's English Grammar Workbook. 6. I posted links to some free diagramming lessons in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscopup Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I've been learning via KISS. I actually went through the grade 3 level 1 materials, before doing through it with my son, but as an adult, I could go a LOT faster than my son. ;) I did this last year during Christmas break. I should probably start working on level 2 this year during break. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyshanti Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 How do you use KISS, do you print everything out? I looked at the englishgrammer101 that pp mentioned and I like that you can do it all online but I'm sure it is a different system than KISS.

mommyshanti Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Also how do you correct it? The beginning looks pretty basic but I'm sure it gets more difficult as you progress and I ned to know whether answers are correct or not.

boscopup Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I do KISS on my tablet, but it's not bad to print out either. There are answer keys for every exercise. That would be the â€AK†file on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Came back to post this link, which I couldn't remember earlier: Reviewing English Grammar is a good, short overview of grammar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
