Easy-to-Learn English Grammar and Punctuation, Part 1 of 2: A step-by-step guide for a strong English foundation

Easy-to-Learn English Grammar and Punctuation – Part 1 of 2

Ever wondered whether it’s correct to say Anthony and Tina’s house or Anthony’s and Tina’s house? Should you write we are inviting people like yourself or people like you? Why do we say lovely-looking lady with a hyphen but not honestly working clerk?

In this step-by-step guide, Sitara Maruf unpacks the English language’s tricky grammar and punctuation rules, making them easy to understand, apply, and remember. Through everyday examples across many contexts, you’ll learn not only the standard rules but also their exceptions and variations—plus how to avoid common mistakes.

Inside, you’ll find clear explanations on:

• How to use articles with noncount nouns
• Which verb tenses don’t require helping verbs
• The proper way to use commas with quotation marks
• The difference between homonyms and heteronyms
• Parts of speech, punctuation, capitalization, and pronunciation

The book also includes skill-building exercises with answers, so you can test what you’ve learned along the way.

Based on Sitara Maruf’s original curriculum, this guide is designed for learners both in the United States and abroad. It helps students improve their grammar, build confidence in English, satisfy curiosity, and serves as both a reliable reference and a supplement to English or writing courses.
