About the Book

This Compact Edition of Writers' Choices: Grammar for Effective Writing retains the longer book's approach to English syntax as something to delight in and experiment with. It does not include sentence diagramming. Brief, focused grammar explanations lead directly to rhetorical applications. Students practice using various syntactic structures in sentence combining, sentence composing, and combining sentences in the context of paragraphs. An answer key helps students check their work. Designed for college composition classes, the Compact Edition has also been used successfully in teacher education classes and developmental English classes.
