Better English grammar than most English grammars!,
By A Customer
This review is from: English Grammar for Students of Latin: The Study Guide for Those Learning Latin (English Grammar Series) (Paperback)
This English Grammar for students of foreign languages series is the best thing I've found for explaining grammar concepts and terms. It's concise, it's understandable, using a few clear examples and not making things too complex to stick. I use this title (Latin) to tutor kids who aren't even taking Latin but are having trouble really grasping what the English terms are and how the rules and structure of grammar underlie what we are all simply accustomed to reading and to saying. I personally recommend this book as an adjunct to any Latin course. Even those of us at the top of our honors English classes and the tippy-top of standard college entrance exams can benefit from this succinct reminder and handy reference when diving into the complexities of another language. It clarifies our grasp on our own grammar, in a succinct and well-indexed manner, and provides a handy explanation of basic analogous constructions. Such an understanding is GREAT to have before launching into Woodcock's or Bennett's references for syntax and grammar in Latin. For less serious students, like high-schoolers (in their view) simply serving their sentence in language class, it helps them to understand what the Latin book means by "Subjunctive" and "relative" versus "demonstrative" pronoun.

Invaluable both for Latin and English,
This review is from: English Grammar for Students of Latin: The Study Guide for Those Learning Latin (English Grammar Series) (Paperback)
This is one of those indispensible tools for introductory Latin work, or if you are trying to refresh and touch up your Latin skills then this is a must have. It starts out with basic and simple English grammer then walks you into the Latin. The authors do an excellent job of explaining the Latin defintion and sentence structure of Latin grammer. The book is very user friendly and is well written and organized so that one does not need to know Latin before purchasing this book. I highly recommend this book for any Latin student or those interested in becoming one.

An Educational Asset,
This review is from: English Grammar for Students of Latin: The Study Guide for Those Learning Latin (English Grammar Series) (Paperback)
This is a perfect resource for a student who wishes to improve their command of the English and Latin languages. The author uses many examples to demonstrate grammatical principles--all of which are presented in Latin and English. Furthermore, the topic matter is very comprehensive; to my knowledge there is not one grammar subject missing. Although ENGLISH GRAMMAR FOR STUDENTS OF LATIN is very resourceful, I advice that students seeking information about either begining Latin grammar or introductory English grammar find another book. This work operates under the premise that the reader has some background in both Latin and English grammar. I readily recommend ENGLISH GRAMMAR FOR STUDENTS OF LATIN. It certainly belongs in every Latin and English classroom!
