Learner’s English Grammar And Composition For Class - IX & X

This revised edition of Learners’ English Grammar and Composition contains a more extensive and updated treatment of English grammar, usage, vocabulary and composition. Many parts of the book have been replaced by new material. A number of units, including nearly all the units dealing with tenses, have been completely rewritten. Some new items in grammar and writing skills have been added. This revision is largely based on a study of the current trends in the syllabi framed by the Boards and Councils of Secondary Education as well as the recent developments in the treatment of grammar and composition.

Grammar is generally regarded as a difficult subject to learn. But in this book the grammatical explanations have been made so simple and clear that pupils can learn grammar on their own without any difficulty. The book necessarily includes some elementary grammar points, which experience has shown to be resistant to correct usage. A great deal of attention has been paid to the points of structure and usage which are usually problematic to non-native speakers of English. The major focus is rightly on the area of verbs, which is the most important aspect of grammar and evidently most difficult for Indian learners to master. The book covers the use of grammar in communicative functions so that the grammar material, together with the sections dealing with vocabulary, comprehension and writing skills, will help learners to acquire the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately in real-life situations.

It is hoped that this need-based book will be liked by both teachers and pupils and found suitable for use in CBSE- and ICSE- affiliated schools as well as State Board schools
