Visual Guide to Grammar and Punctuation: First Reference for Young Writers and Readers Pdf Book Description:

There are different ways to read this book. You can either start at the beginning and work your way through, or you can dip into different topics. There are examples given for each topic, and each example is accompanied by a picture. We hope that you enjoy learning about the English language! Each page or pair of pages introduces a new grammar or punctuation topic. The heading tells you what the topic is. We use words when we talk to and write to each other. There are thousands of different words in any language, and they all have their own meanings. Grammar is the way we put these words together so that they make sense. When speaking, you might pause when you’ve finished saying something, or you might shout if you are angry. When you write, you use punctuation to make your meaning clear. Punctuation shows the reader when to pause, when something is a question, or when something is shouted. The nouns on these two pages are called common nouns because they don’t talk about one specific thing or person. You can use the noun tree about any tree, and the noun brother about anyone’s brother. A singular noun talks about just one thing. A plural noun is used for more than one thing. With most nouns, we add s to the end of the word to make the plural. Nouns that have a singular and plural are called countable nouns.

This means we can count them. Some nouns don’t have a plural. These are called uncountable nouns. Verbs describe actions, such as run, jump, and play. The person or thing that does the action of the verb is the subject. The subject always comes before the verb. A clear, accurate, and thorough book that can give kids the tools to construct confidence in reading, writing, and understanding through visual excuse. From when to use a preposition or pronoun on the way to use a comma or colon, Visual Guide to Grammar and Punctuation covers most of the most important grammar issues in DK’s trademark. Each case supplied is supported by means of a picture, which makes it comprehensible and accessible, and transparent and easy text and repeat help to solidify wisdom and comprehension. Visual Guide to Grammar and Punctuation will enhance a child’s confidence in using the building blocks of writing and reading, and also is a publication they’ll refer to again and again.
