Writing is a public act. For writing to communicate to the reader, both the writer and the reader must know the rules of the written language. It is the writer’s obligation to follow the rules so that the reader can understand what the writer is expressing. Grammar is the study of the rules that control written (and spoken) language. Grammar resembles law. Like law, grammar is made up of a body of rules that are related to one another. To understand the rules, one must know the definitions of the terms used in the rules. Then one must be able to apply the general rules to a specific situation. In law, one applies the rules to the facts of a case. In grammar, the rules are applied to the words, phrases, clauses, and sentences of discourse. Just as different jurisdictions have different laws, every language has its own grammar. This book tests your knowledge of the rules of the grammar of American English. It is not a grammar text or review book. It assumes you already know the definitions of basic terms in grammar and that you are familiar with the most common grammar rules.
