English Grammar & Punctuation For Australians
This is a simple Australian grammar handbook originally written to help students who hadn't learnt English as their first language. It's clear examples will give you all you need to know for primary school grammar. In fact it is probably all you need to know about grammar for school. I use it often!
It was so popular that a punctuation guide was added and now they have put the two books together to form this guide.
For grammar it covers the parts of speech, clauses, subjects, objects and what makes a sentence.
The punctuation section includes when to use full stops, commas, dashes, bullets, hyphens and more. All those tricky punctuation questions that need to be answered can be quickly looked up.
Another thing I love about this book is that the text is written on only one side of the page leaving the other side to make notes.
This resource is printed by NSW University press and is sold to Australian and New Zealand students.
I highly recommend it!
