A comprehensive, practical reference guide to the idiosyncrasies of
the English language
No one knows grammar like Michael Strumpf. For over a quarter of a
century, as creator and proprietor of the National Grammar Hot Line, he
helped thousands of callers from every corner of the globe tackle the
thorniest issues of English grammar. Now, in The Grammar Bible, he has
created an eminently useful guide to better speaking and writing.
Unlike other grammar manuals, The Grammar Bible is driven by the
actual questions Professor Strumpf encountered during his years of
teaching and fielding phone calls from anxious writers, conscientious
students, and perplexed editors, including such perennial quandaries
as
o Where do I put this comma?
o What case should this pronoun be in?
o How do I form the possessive of Dickens?
Professor Strumpf explains these and other language issues with wit and
wisdom, showing how to speak more clearly and write more impressively by
avoiding common errors and following the principles of good grammar.
Whether you need a comprehensive review of the subjunctive mood or
simply want to know which form of a verb to use, The Grammar Bible is
a practical guide that will enlighten, educate, and entertain.
