Features: The Grammar Chart is explained with the focus on "sentence construction," while this book explains the Grammar Chart with the focus on "sentence construction." The central purpose of this book is to teach readers how to use the Grammar Chart to learn English sentence construction. The author of this CD-ROM believes that grammar is sentence construction, and sentence construction is grammar. The ultimate goal of learning grammar is to learn how to construct sentences. Only by mastering sentence construction can one truly master grammar. This CD-ROM is divided into two parts—the syntax section and the morphology section. The syntax section includes four chapters, explaining how to construct sentences using the "18 sentence building blocks." Chapter 4 introduces a "block-building sentence construction method," which is as simple and fast as playing with building blocks. With just a few steps, the 18 sentence building blocks can be combined to create quite complex English sentences. The morphology section of this CD-ROM includes two chapters, covering the rules of word usage in English and the "10 major verb tenses." The chapter arrangement of this CD-ROM differs greatly from traditional grammar books. Traditional grammar books generally start with morphology before moving on to syntax, while this book begins with syntax before covering morphology.
