Introduction
Grammar is a very old field of study. Did you know that the sentence wasfirst divided into subject and verb by Plato, the famed philosopher from ancient Greece? That was about 2,400 years ago! Ever since then, students all over the world have found it worthwhile to study the structure of words and sentences. Why? Because skill in speaking and writing is the hallmark of all educated people. Lesson by lesson, this book provides basic instruction in the eight parts ofspeech—nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections—as well as the standard patterns of English sentences. All students of English, be they native speakers or those who are studying English as a second language, will profit from the fundamental introduction and review of grammar provided by SADDLEBACK’S BASIC ENGLISH GRAMMAR 1 and 2. Helpful marginalnotes throughout the books have been provided to reinforce existing skills and call attention to common problem areas. We wish you every success in your pursuit of English proficiency.

What is Grammar?
Here’s an old children’s rhyme about the eight parts of speech of English grammar. It givesyou an idea of what grammar is about. Read and remember it.
Every name is called a noun,
Noun
As field and fountain, street and town. In place of noun the pronoun stands, As he and she can clap their hands. The adjective describes a thing, As magic wand or bridal ring.
Pronoun
Adjective
Most verbs mean action, something done, To read and write, to jump and run. How things are donethe adverbs tell, As quickly, slowly, badly, well. The preposition shows relation, As in the street or at the station. Conjunctions join, in many ways, Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase. The interjection cries out, “Heed!
Verb
ition Prepos
Adverb
Conjunction
An exclamation point must follow me!”
Interjection
