Introduction
The purpose of The Grammar Handbook is to provide you, the student, with a convenient grammar reference when you need to review the elements of language structure. Certain concepts will be new for some of you; therefore, this handbook will guide your understanding. For others, this book will serve as a refresher course and will aid the fine-tuning of your skills. Using this book will help you develop confidence in your writing ability.

The book begins with a grammar pre-test to encourage you to self-check your skill level and to identify those concepts on which you should focus your study. Each unit includes review sections with examples and simple exercises to test your knowledge of each unit.

We suggest that you read the review sections, complete any practice exercises, and check the Answer Key. If you find you have missed a point, double-check the review section again. If necessary, you can clarify an issue with your English teacher. The book ends with a grammar post-test, which you can use to self-check your mastery of the concepts reviewed in this book.
