T his volume provides both teachers and students of English as a Second/Foreign Language with the descriptive knowledge of the basic sentence structure of the English language before moving on to more advanced study.

Raising awareness of the language structure as well as comparing it with other languages helps in activating cognitive skills in processing new information. Reflective type exercises are included to enable the reader to think about the theoretical language issue discussed. The book is a valuable aid as a course text or as practice with individual aspects of the language. Suggestions for further reading are also given.
