Sentence Mastery - Book C, Second Edition (2)

Synopsis

This book is for you. Its purpose is to help make you a better writer. It is based on an old idea--that one can improve a skill by practice. You know that batters improve by practicing hitting. Piano players improve by practicing the piano. Carpenters improve by practicing their trade. There is every reason to believe that you will improve as a writer by writing. Yet it is not certain that you will improve only by writing. Student writers who do not know certain fundamentals may merely repeat their errors. This book offers carefully controlled practice. If you can understand a few basic clues, you will not merely write sentences, you will write good sentences. By the time you have finished this book, you will have written hundreds of good sentences. You will be well on your way toward sentence mastery. In addition to writing good sentences, you will also gain practice in writing correct forms of words. For example, you will practice writing write and right, past and passed, to mention only two of the twenty items in this book. In the first problem or two in early lessons, we call attention to these troublesome words by printing them in boldfaced italics. Boldfaced italics look like this: write, right; past, passed. In later lessons you will receive much additional practice writing such troublesome words. Some people naturally work faster than others. If you are one of these fast workers, you will find extra practice for each lesson at the back of the book, beginning on page 129. If you finish any lesson before your classmates, turn to the proper page near the end of the book and you will find more sentences to do. This book may also help you to improve your punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and even your handwriting.
