Publisher's Synopsis
This basic writing text constantly reinforces the link between good grammar and good writing. A combination textbook and workbook, it integrates grammar instruction and sentence/paragraph writing in each chapter. Grammar is presented in easy-to-understand, compact sections, with each chapter focusing on a grammatical principle. Each section includes extensive practices (with answers) and exercises (without answers) so students can immediately apply each principle. To reinforce the link to writing, each chapter contains instruction and exercises in sentence combining and a writing section that focuses on and reinforces the grammatical material in that chapter.
