Excerpt from Modern Business English: A Course in English on Learn to Express by Expressing Plan The observation of the writers and of many others shows that the study of grammar as ordinarily conducted in our schools has very little result upon every-day speech and com position. It is extraneous to the student - something learned for class-room use only. The aim oi this book is to better these conditions. To this end, only the practical side of grammar is presented. Everything that furnishes mental discipline only 'is excluded, while that which helps to make speech and writing correct is included. This will explain why much that is ordinarily found in grammar texts is omitted from this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
