Eng. 211 English Grammar in use

This course deals with English grammar in a practical way for the purpose of production (speaking/reading) and comprehension (listening/writing). It also serves as an introduction to the basic linguistic terminology. The course starts with a review of the parts of speech (verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, preposition and pronouns). The focus then shifts to the different types, structures, and uses of tenses, as well as subject-verb agreement. Students are then introduced to the different classes of nouns (count, noncount, collective, etc) as well as pronouns. Students are also introduced to English modals, and regular and irregular verbs and nouns.
