As of yet, I have not determined any sort of real thread through these posts, but that is all about to change! Now that I’ve realized that consistently posting is kind of like having a job, I will use my new office as a secluded space where I can sit down and write. A clean desk, a two-volume dictionary, and a comfortable ergonomic chair, none of which I paid for. Perfect. But today, I am still in my apartment.
My university offers a one-month term during January, granting students the opportunity to take any of a wide variety of courses not generally offered in either the spring or fall semesters. Many students use this time to take university supported trips abroad or take an intensive quilting or bookmaking class. While these all sound wonderful, there are only so many years to take a small selection of courses.
I have chosen grammar.
By no means am I an expert on the subject; in fact, even after three days on the simpler topics of traditional grammar, I have come to realize that the issues I thought easy are in fact more nuanced than I expected. Which brings me to my initial point. For now, at least, I aim to offer a less textbook source of grammar instruction based off my own textbook and my professor’s corrections of said text.
Should you desire to work along with me, I am using the fifteenth edition of English Fundamentals by Donald W. Emery, John M. Kierzek, and Peter Lindblom. For the sake of anonymity, I will not name my professor, but will mention that his name does appear in the acknowledgments as a contributor for improvements on the text.
That being said, let’s begin.
