Is English grammar a mystery to you? A black hole? Fuzzy like a distant memory?
English has the reputation of being an easy language to learn, and it is indeed an easy language 'to get into'. However, in the desire to start speaking the language as early as possible a solid structural foundation is often neglected. In regular language courses, there often is not enough time for dealing with grammar questions. Although there are numerous resources for grammar work available on the Internet, it may be hard to work with them autonomously.
This course sets out to remedy that. We'll study grammar in context, explain how grammar works, deal with fossilized mistakes, and apply the patterns to speaking and writing. Like archeologist, we will attempt to dig deeper into the shifting sands of “your” English and uncover and analyze the exposed bones of the language.
