Participants once again take a diagnostic 100-question grammar quiz in which they’re asked to select the correct answer of two possibilities for each short sentence. The quiz reinforces the lessons of Part One, on the subjects of pronoun cases, subject–verb agreement, verb tenses, and general word usage—again focusing on the most common lapses from Standard Written English. Garner takes you through each item in the quiz, explaining the rule that leads to the correct answer. Some may surprise you. Whether your grammatical skills are shaky or sound, you’ll refine them and have fun doing it.
Bryan Garner is not only an acclaimed legal author, he is also regarded as one of the most accomplished grammarians of the English language, being the author of Garner’s Modern American Usage and of Chapter 5 (―Grammar and Usage‖) of The Chicago Manual of Style.
