Modern English Structures
is a clear and accessible text that follows a structural approach to teaching basic English grammar. The book is divided into three parts: what a sentence constituent is, what a sentence constituent does, and where a sentence constituent goes—
Form
,
Function
, and
Position
. The objective of the book is to bring students to a better understanding of sentence constituents and sentence structures, providing them with appropriate terminology to discuss these forms and relationships. This second edition has been revised and updated throughout.
The accompanying
Modern English Structures Workbook
parallels the text and provides useful training both in memorization and in higher-order thinking skills.
