Webster's New World English Grammar Handbook covers all the basics of standard English usage in a concise, step-by-step format including the special "General Observation" feature that provides grammar rules and tips at a glance. This comprehensive reference is the perfect desktop reference for the non-writing professionals and students alike. Webster's New World English Grammar Handbook goes beyond the competition by providing special sections on writing, spelling, and punctuation as well as an extensive appendix on "Misused Words and Expressions." This alphabetized appendix features hundreds of examples of misused words and expressions and explains proper usage. You'll find yourself referring to this section time and again to polish your grammar.

It should come as little surprise to anyone who has had to struggle through months—even years—of the formal study of grammar in both middle school and high school that certain segments of society place great emphasis on using "correct grammar" and on "speaking correctly." Because the study of grammar was given preeminence in the public-school curriculum (after all, for how many years is one exposed to the basics of English grammar?), nearly every student has been expected to become proficient in such things as diagramming sentences—some of them incorporating uncommon constructions—and in determining the correct use of such forms as who and whom in complex, convoluted sentence patterns.
