Reviews

The level of detailed understanding even a beginning student can reach in fifteen weeks with this text is remarkable. I have taught hundreds of students using Doing Grammar, and they consistently remark how much their confidence as writers and readers has improved. It works. --Laura Halliday, Southern Illinois University This is the most complete and accessible English grammar text on the market. In it, Morenberg introduces students to the linguistic toolset they will need to analyze any English sentence effectively, and he does so in a clear, logical, and eminently readable fashion. The work's major strength is its student-centeredness. Morenberg is clearly a master teacher who is not only fully in command of this complex subject matter, but is also capable of relating it to the needs and comprehension level of the average undergraduate. --Edwin Eleazer, Francis Marion University
