This textbook was written to serve as a precursor to college-level freshman English classes. The authors (of San Diego Mesa College) avoid technical terminology and adopt a "sympathetic tone." Chapters cover such basics as types of words, subject and verb agreement, correct forms of pronouns, compound and confused sentences, punctuation, and capitalization.
