Please interrupt your
work and pay attention. A book for any
completive exam should grammar-based so that the structure of a
sentence is understandable in one reading. PLEASE READ, REREAD, REREAD, &
REREAD the following narrative from the Reader’s Digest.
This cliché will help
you in knowing the reason why the writer of any book for competitive exams must have exemplary and emulative grounding
in English grammar. It means that he/she should have his/her own book with
testimonials.
Taking cue from this trailblazing, startling, but most
remunerative message, I studied a number of books on English grammar including the
ones by Fowler, Otto Jespersen, Treble & Vallins, G C Whitworth, Harold E.
Palmer, M. Alderton Pink and of course
Wren & Martin.
Later one, having
taught English grammar for twenty years, I wrote my own award-winning book on
English grammar . Two erudite, iconic, and exemplary Professors of English
were exceedingly gracious in awarding testimonials to my book
Now, I apply the following guidelines also
for writing my books so that understanding the meaning of the words and then
memorizing them becomes a delightful
obsession and stimulating activity.
The guidelines are:
1. ‘What’ as an
antecedent-relative pronoun.
2. G. C. Whitworth’s
‘three golden rules’ for using ‘the
articles’ in English.
3. ‘It’ as an
anticipatory subject with noun phrases and noun clauses.
4. Possessive
Adjectives Vs. Possessive Pronouns.
5. ‘Distributives’
(each, every, either, neither).
6. Verb transitive
with an indirect object and a direct object.
7. Factitive verbs.
8. Three times for
Past Perfect Tense.
9. The fourth tense
(future in the past tense).
I have made most earnest efforts, however
imperfect, for writing the current book of mine. In this book, the questions of
previous years’ exams have been solved in the best possible manner. I will eagerly
look forward to your valuable comments on my efforts. May God
bless us all!
