Rapid review of english grammar, Praninskas J., 1959.

Preface.

Rapid Review of English Grammar is not a text for beginners. Neither is it "intermediate" or "advanced." It is a remedial text, designed for students whose knowledge of English is extensive but imperfect when they come to the United States to study in our colleges and universities. It is intended mainly for students who need English as a tool, rather than for those who plan to specialize in the language or to teach it. In the 24 lessons, which can be mastered in one semester of intensive study, Rapid Review of English Grammar includes all of the inflectional forms, all of the basic word-order patterns of American-English sentences, and many of the more difficult uses of function words. The material is presented in the form of an integrated course. The first few lessons deal with the simplest, most basic statement and question patterns. In later lessons it is shown how these basic patterns are combined and/or rearranged to produce longer, more complex sentences which express relationships between ideas. Some of the more difficult aspects of the language, such as the use of the definite article, the choice of prepositions, idioms, and two-word verbs are introduced in the early lessons, explained in greater detail in later ones, and reviewed toward the end of the course. A complete index is included for those who do not need to study the course but wish to use the book as a reference grammar.





19. PARAGRAPHING.

A paragraph is a sequence of sentences about one topic. One way to indicate a paragraph is to indent the first sentence. To indent means to start writing a few spaces to the right of the left-hand margin. There are five paragraphs on page one of this lesson. This is a paragraph. It is a sequence of six sentences about the topic of paragraphing, and the first sentence is indented.
