Description
English Grammar Boot Camp is a complete course for teaching English grammar. For many of us, grammar brings back memories of scolding teachers and struggling with the dumb and complicated rules of official language. But what is grammar really? In fact, grammar is the inseparable basis of the style we write and read. Also, a clear awareness of grammar can greatly enhance your enjoyment of the English language and your skills in using it (both speaking and writing). Grammar is the foundation of writing, and a strong and nuanced linguistic foundation in grammar and its use will meaningfully expand your resources for verbal idioms, meticulous language navigation, and achieving clarity in communication and literary power.
In this course, renowned linguist and professor Anne Curzan from the University of Michigan will take you on an exploration of English grammar. In this course, you will get acquainted with topics such as examining common grammar problems, verb construction, passive voice usage, principles of punctuation and conversational grammar.
