<br/><br/>"Grammar Lost and Found is an accessible, humorous approach to teaching twenty common grammar, punctuation and spelling errors. It explains the basic rules in a conversational tone, using straightforward examples, designed to explain the complexities of the language while being easily understood. What makes this workbook unique is that each concept covered is accompanied by a fictional story in the chapter following a student on his first day of school.  Each chapter emphasizes the one rule it is matched with.  Exercises at the end of every five chapters encourage students to synthesize the topics they have learned and apply them to their writing." --Publisher's website TABLE OF CONTENTS: Chapter 1: Its and It’s<br/> Chapter 2: You’re and Your<br/> Chapter 3: Who's and Whose<br/> Chapter 4: They’re, Their, and There<br/> Chapter 5: Who and Whom<br/> Putting It All Together: Summary Exercises Chapters 1-5 Chapter 6: Than and Then<br/> Chapter 7: That and Which<br/> Chapter 8: However Does Not Mean And<br/> Chapter 9: Run-on Sentences<br/> Chapter 10: The Comma Putting It All Together: Summary Exercises Chapters 6-10 Chapter 11: Semi-Colons and Colons<br/> Chapter 12: Parts of Speech<br/> Chapter 13: Pronoun Agreement<br/> Chapter 14: Active/Passive<br/> Chapter 15: Misplaced Modifiers Putting It All Together: Summary Exercises Chapter 11-15<br/><br/> Chapter 16: Canadian Spelling<br/> Chapter 17: One Word or Two?<br/> Chapter 18: Easily Confused<br/> Chapter 19: Making a Case for Capitals<br/> Chapter 20: The Apostrophe<br/> Putting It All Together: Summary Exercises Chapters 16-20<br/><br/> Appendix 1: Suggested Activities<br/><br/> Appendix 2: Glossary of Misused Words<br/> Putting It All Together: Answers to Summary Exercises<br/> References
