| Grammar smart helps you unravel the mysterious
web of rules that your teachers call “standard English.”
We’ll review the basic parts of speech and help you
understand their functions and malfunctions. In this course,
you’ll learn the ins and outs of constructing coherent,
complete sentences. You might have been misled into thinking
that English follows a rigid set of rules. Somehow, all
the smart people know the rules and so should you. Actually,
those “smart people” make mistakes all the time.
Often they break a rule to make a point. Sometimes, sloppy
grammar just sounds better. More often than you might expect,
people break a rule because they just learned it incorrectly.
A better understanding of the rules of grammar will make
you better writer, not only so you can also ace those pesky
standardized tests like SAT, SAT II and TOEFL.
The Princeton Review’s Grammar Smart course uses
an interactive, game-based curriculum to reinforce the basic
building blocks of writing and speaking. This course is
valuable for all students, especially those who use English
as a second language.
