candicane Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I've been trying, and without much success, to use this book here http://www.amazon.com/English-Grammar-Drills-Mark-Lester/dp/0071598111 for grammar. But unfortunately, it's more exercises than teachings of how to get through the exercises themselves. My mom (my teacher and classmate sometimes!) and I can manage through it with the answer keys, but sometimes we don't get WHY something is a certain way. For example, the other day we were struggling through comparative and superlative adjectives, without much intro into WHAT they are. I'm no whiz at grammar, I need something that states what a noun is, adjective, verb, etc and gives examples of them with enough detail that I can grasp. Also, I can't afford much, so something that's relatively cheap would be nice. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I like the Grammar Girl Guides for quick reference. You can get them for the kindle app or printed. Another good option is to do a web search, there are a ton of free resources on the internet from people who just love grammar and want to tell the rest of us all about it.
