Grammar is fun!
Making grammar fun is quite a feat, and here it was accomplished. This was not a boring review, but an extremely relevant and useful look at grammar.

How the English language changes
This is a good study of how the English language changes over time; for example, the use of 'on accident' instead of 'by accident'.

Not that great

Great grammar
I have been reading it every day, so I think I have found out lots of stuff I didn't know on English language grammar topics. Things have been changing over the years, so the grammar doesn't have such things yet. It's worth taking a look at some points. Enjoy it!
