Excerpt from Ontario Teachers Manuals Grammar Besides, however, providing for human thought a record in phonic terms, language is also to be viewed as a necessary instrument for thought. That is, no thinking beyond a most rudimentary type can take place except through the instrumentality of language; in other words, language is a necessary instrument through and by which all adequate thinking must take place.

Excerpt from Ontario Teachers Manuals Grammar The attention of the student-teacher is especially called to certain important points in regard to the presentation or statement of grammatical facts wherein the Public School Composition and Grammar differs from several other text-books. The most important of these are as follows: 1. The presentation of Case as a function and relation rather than as an inflection (page 217). 2. Recognition of the facts that many pronouns have no plural forms (page 43); that many nouns and pronouns have no possessive forms in actual use (page 224); and that the possessive forms of nouns and pronouns are used to express other ideas than possession (page 223). 3. A more precise statement of the nature of mood (pages 234-6). 4. The presentation of the fact that true agreement of verb with subject in person and number is comparatively uncommon in the English verb (page 227); and the providing of a form of parsing to correspond to that fact (page 242). 5. The substitution of you for thou as the ordinary so-called second person singular of the pronoun in connection with the conjugation of the verb. 6. The presentation of the expression "subject omitted" instead of "subject understood" in parsing the ordinary imperative verb (page 252). 7. The use of the terms co-ordinatire and subordinative in describing conjunctions (page 207). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Teacher's Handbook to Groundwork of English Grammar The importance of teaching English composition is now generally recognized, but for some years there has been a tendency to minimize - if not to deny - the value of English grammar as a school subject. Yet a little reflexion shows that, as grammar is an examination of the construction of sentences and so is implicit in all composition, such a study of it as will make that construction explicit should be of value in composition itself. Further, composition is the expression of thought in language. Consequently, an examination of modes of expression involves an examination of thought itself. The study of grammar has, thus, a directly logical, as well as an instrumental linguistic, value. Nor need such a study be uninteresting to children. To think, and to express thoughts clearly and unambiguously, are forms of skill. And no skill is acquired without carefully examined practice. It is never enough merely to practise, for if the activity, no matter what it is, be badly done, practice will simply strengthen the faults. If children are to be taught both to think clearly and to express their thoughts precisely, they must be led to consider both thought and expression - to form the habits of knowing exactly what they mean and of putting that meaning unambiguously into words.
