Grammar Upside Down: A Different Approach to Understanding Grammar

By Terry Phelps

Instead of beginning with rules, definitions, and terminology, Grammar Upside Down begins each concept with concrete examples, leading readers to see word patterns and relationships, then providing terminology and explanation. This concrete-to-abstract approach is much more effective than the usual grammar book approach because we better understand and remember what we figure out for ourselves. Furthermore, the analytical process of figuring out the patterns is the same process we use when applying the patterns in our writing. Grammar Upside Down from the basic functions of words through sentence structures, punctuation, and usage. Then we look at ways to be clearer and more concise, and finally we show how to add emphasis and style to your writing.
