Power Sentences: A Common Errors Approach to Writing Effective Sentences

Power Sentences is a sentence-study system that teaches common errors of usage infused into basic grammar. It... Streamlines grammar to essential functions (verb, noun, adjective, adverb) and essential forms (word, clause, phrase). Presents common errors of usage from serious (such as complete sentences and agreement problems) to subtle (such as parallelism, proper verb tense, and complete comparison). Contains composition activities directly relating usage and grammar to writing, reading, and listening. Gives explanations, examples, practices, and reviews. Develops concepts step-by-step to create a clear, confident foundation not only for effective writing and speaking but also for logical thinking. Includes footnotes with explanations and suggestions so that teachers, parents, tutors, and students have immediate access to the why's and how's of the program.
