Book Summary:

P.C. Wren’s New English Grammar Series, comprising six books, can be classed among the best and most authoritative of traditional grammars for children. These graded books contain a systematic treatment of English grammatical forms and lead up to P.C. Wren and H. Martin’s monumental work High School English Grammar and Composition. The aim of the revision of the present series is to make the books more suitable for use in the modern classroom. Apart from the learner-friendly format and attractive illustrations.

Audience of the Book :

This book Useful for Class IV Students.

Sailent Feature:

1. Some grammar rules and structures have been revised or recast so as to bring them into line with current usage. For example, the use of me, him, us, etc. after than and as in comparisons and the use of who as the object of a verb or preposition, which were frowned upon in P.C. Wren’s time, are now considered correct. Sentences like “He is taller than me”, “Who do you want?” and “ Who are you talking about?” are correct.

2. Some chapters have been expanded or recast so as to reflect the new developments in the study of English structure and usage. The chapters dealing with tenses and modals have been completely rewritten
