Resumen:
Authors? preface to An Introductory Course to English Grammar Practice
The main objective of An Introductory Course to English Grammar Practice is to introduce
the first-year university student into the world of English grammar. Most of the students
doing this introductory course have had some previous contact with English grammar in
one form or another. But here we intend to offer them a new perspective on the subject:
one which relates grammatical structure to meaning and use.
An Introductory Course to English Grammar Practice does not intend to be a complete
review of English grammar but an impressive survey of some of the main study areas of
this subject. This work supplies basic information about the different grammatical forms
and structures included in the first year syllabus (Facultad de Lenguas, U.N.C) which will
be given a more detailed treatment during the year.
The organization of the present work goes from a description of the main
grammatical features of isolated words through to sentences and simple texts. Though we
have attempted to simplify grammatical terminology and classifications, we have
introduced and explained the metalanguage essential to describe the grammar of the
English language. The treatment of such terminology ranges from simple terms such as
noun and adjective to more complex ones like time and tense or ditransitive complementation. The
mastery of these notions is fundamental for the future English teacher or translator.
