English Grammar for Common Schools (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from English Grammar for Common Schools
Grammar should be taught inductively. Pupils should be led, first, in the light of their own experience, to study the simple facts of language, and then to investigate the more difficult matters of construction and inflection until they arrive at the general laws' which govern its structure. In other words, pupils should be helped to help themselves. And yet it is next to impossible to present inductive lessons throughout a text-book. Lessons must be prepared for classes of pupils; and no one but the teacher can know to What extent each child needs illustrative exercises, or when he is prepared to take the next step.
This book is prepared on a plan somewhat different from that followed in most Grammars for schools. There are certain facts of grammar which must be learned before the mastery of other facts becomes possible. But although it is necessary, for example, to know something of the nature of nouns and verbs before beginning to analyze a sentence.
