Show Grammar Course Scheduled Here This Quarter Elementary Grammar, English Eng-lish 109, is one of the courses being offered through the Southeastern Center for Continuing Con-tinuing Education this spring quarter. Elementary Grammar is a proscriptive rather than a prescriptive course. It deals with current "rules" of grammar and usage and with the grammatical structures which arc the basis of tl.xse rules. The main purpose of the course is to teach the mechanics of formal college English. This includes such things as verb-subject agreement, agree-ment, punctuation, spelling. parallelism and other elements of good, varied writing. Elementary Grammar would be useful to anyone who wished to improve his knowledge knowl-edge of and ability to use the English language. It would be particularly useful to beginning beginn-ing college students and to pre-college students . |
