Overview
Most people today think grammar books are boring and don't buy them. Yet millions of people love to write. They dream of writing novels, self-help books, or memoirs. Some are required to write for their jobs or college. Without a working grasp of grammar, they will struggle every time they sit down to write, and the quality of their writing may leave much to be desired.
If you love to write, or want to write, or if you are required to write in day-to-day living, you need to learn grammar, and the sooner the better.
Grammar to a writer is like a hammer and nails to a carpenter. It is the glue that holds together the words we write. We use grammar to shape words into sentences, and sentences into coherent paragraphs. Because grammar is so important, we believe it should be presented as a trendy topic that inspires interest.
