English grammar murdered on QVC web site

[Artemis]

I didn't recognise the title, so had to google it but seeing as the Amazon description started off with:

"This little book was used in English Primary Schools during the 1940's and provides a fascinating insight into the way children used to be taught."

......I think it was a bit before my time.......! :grin:

I definitely wasn't at primary school in the 40s! we had this book at grammar school in the 60s.

and mine was in the 50s. We also had another one called "The Student's Companion" which I loved, and still have somewhere.

I was an EFL teacher (English as a Foreign Language) for years and our bible was Murphy's Grammar. It's so easy to follow and I have learned so much from it - would highly recommend it to anyone who just wants to brush up/improve their grammar.

Thank you so much for that, Jacqualina, I've often thought that I ought to identify a good grammar so that I could then recommend it to my struggling students... off to check it out on Amazon...:flower:
