505 _a"Nitty Gritty Grammar, Second Edition, focuses on essential areas of English grammar that cause difficulty for developing writers. It guides students through the learning process by exploring grammar in context, providing controlled practice, and giving students thought-provoking writing assignments in which they can practice grammar in a more open-minded format.
505 _aThe grammar points are illustrated in reading passages from a variety of genres, from comic strips to an excerpt from the 9/11 Comission Report. After each grammar points is thoroughly explained. it is presented in summary form in a Nitty Gritty box that serves as a handy reference tool for students and teachers. A Chapter Review at the end of each chapter list all of the grammar points in the chapter and offers exercises that give students the opportunity to practice and consolidate what they have learned.
505 _aThis book addresses the specific grammar problems common in student writing, such as run-on sentences, sentence fragmetns, and incorrect article usage. It truly covers the "nitty gritty." In keeping with this focus on grammar for writers, some grammar structures that are traditionally included in a general grammar text are not covered or are mentioned only briefly in this book. For example, in the chapters on verb tenses, significantly more attention is paid to statements than to questions because questions are relatively uncommon in academic writing.
505 _aNitty Gritty Grammar can be used as a main text in a grammar class or as a grammar supplement in a writing class. It teaches grammar in the context of writing and includes several writing assignments in every chapter. However, because Nitty Gritty Grammar does not teach composition per se, teachers may want to supplement the material in this book with a composition in academic writing.
