Like most languages, English strings words together

into sentences in order to communicate ideas. But

many people find it difficult to construct English

sentences correctly. This program will teach you the

basic principles that govern how English sentences

are constructed, and how to put these principles to

use when you create your own sentences!

mendations. First, have a notebook and pen ready so

you’re prepared to take notes. You’ll probably want

to use the many on-screen graphics to take notes for

yourself – when you’re done, you’ll have a notebook

on English grammar that you can refer back to again

and again.

Finally, don’t try to absorb too much at one time. By

viewing the program over a number of short sessions

(instead of all at once), you’ll stay “fresher” and

retain more of what you learn. And don’t forget: you

can review the entire program, or specific sections, as

many times as you need to!
