Fridge Magnet Grammar

The purpose of this guide is to show you some basic building bricks of grammar. It's not a complete reference to English grammar, and it avoids jargon as much as possible. It's intended as an introduction to grammar for beginners, and to get the most from it you should spend some time playing around with the many grammar exercises it contains. If you do this, you should build up a secure understanding of some of the basic principles of grammar, which will stand you in good stead in your further grammar studies. I hope you'll find the guide fun and interesting. But before we get to work, a few words about how this guide works.
