Grammar is a set of rules. But it is difficult to learn each rule by heart. This book recognises the difficulties faced by the students on account of this. So it has attempted to explain these rules. The WHY has been analysed in detail. Once you have gone through the explanation, the rule appears to have become yours. And you won’t forget it all your life. Be it in exam hall or outside. The book believes that words are the essence of a language. In fact, even examinations today demand a large vocabulary. The book has therefore attempted to familiarise the reader with as many words as possible. Exclusive chapters have been added on idioms and phrases, phrasal verbs and foreign words. The words and phrases that have been discussed are words that one MUST know. Since words cannot be learnt in isolation, efforts have been made to fit them in a context. The reader will find the context interesting. When you know grammar and have good word power, understanding should not be a problem. However, comprehension is best learnt through practice with intelligent clues. The book has made an effort in this direction. And if long sentences are your problem, they won’t be so after you have read the book. You will also find that sentence arrangement is a logical process.
