Grammar in Context allows students to see grammar in action, through a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts, including autobiography, travel writing, information texts, newspaper articles, speeches and diaries. Each section, focusing on a different aspect of grammar and language, looks at how writers have used language in order to reinforce meaning and strengthen the impact of what they write. Follow-up activities explore how to analyse real passages in terms of their language - an essential skill for National Tests, GCSE and Standard Grade - while writing prompts concentration on creating new texts. A grammar reference section gives all the nuts and bolts of English grammar for anyone who needs a quick refresher course. The Answer Book is fully photocopiable.
This book investigates how grammatical structures function within diverse literary and informational texts to enhance meaning and rhetorical impact. Authors Geoff Barton and Matthew Berry provide a pedagogical framework that bridges the gap between abstract grammatical rules and their practical application in writing. By utilizing a variety of source materials, the text serves as a comprehensive resource for students and educators aiming to improve analytical skills and writing proficiency.
