Аннотация: Essentials of English: Book 2

Эта книга - репринт оригинального издания (издательство "Essentials of English", 1915 год), созданный на основе электронной копии высокого разрешения, которую очистили и обработали вручную, сохранив структуру и орфографию оригинального издания. Редкие, забытые и малоизвестные книги, изданные с петровских времен до наших дней, вновь доступны в виде печатных книг. The Second Book of Essentials of English is intended for use in the seventh and eighth grades of the elementary school. "The book is divided into two parts, Part One being devoted to the fundamental principles of Grammar, and Part Two to a study of effective models of Composition and to practical exercises in self-expression. The exercises are abundant and of great variety. They are not confined to practice that requires mere recognition of various grammatical elements and to analysis and parsing ; but they enter the borderland of composition in their constructive capacity. Thus, the pupil is required to change sentences from the natural to the transposed order or the reverse, to expand sentences by changing adjectives and adverbs to adjective and adverbial phrases or clauses, and to gain through many other exercises the skill that leads to ease and force in speaking and writing. The last sections of Part One are devoted to reference work, including a brief history of the English language, a list of irregular verbs, and a system of diagrams. The study of the paragraph, of outlines, and of punctuation and capitalization is systematic and thorough. Many exercises in word study - synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms - and in methods of securing force, coherence, and variety add to the practical value of the work." -- PREFACE, 1915
