Abstract:	Having to explain a grammar point can be daunting for teachers. The kinds of explanations that will help language students aren't always the ones you will find in a traditional, 'academic' grammar book or guide. Instead, Explaining English Grammar is a pedagogical guide, designed to help explain the 'whys' as well as the 'hows' of English grammar. The book is organized into ten chapters. Each chapter covers a specific grammar topic. After an introductory chapter, the topics covered are: - Articles - Tense and aspect - Modals - Conditionals - Prepositions and particles - Indirect objects - Infinitives and gerunds - Relative clauses - Direct and indirect speech This sequence is designed to cover the more basic topics first, and then to go into more complex areas. However, the chapters are also free-standing, so you can read them in any order - or leave some out - if you prefer. Each chapter has a similar structure.
