Jensen’s Grammar lessons and
exercises were built with three concepts in mind. First, spaced
repetition is the key to learning; hence, there is review in every
lesson. Second, the information is given incrementally; that is, the
material comes in a natural progression of detail and concept interwoven
so as to move you along with something new each lesson while fitting it
in with the material previously learned and practiced. Third, the
sentences in the exercises will generally set a scene or describe an
action. Thus, they are usually more interesting reading in themselves
instead of the random sentences in exercises found in most grammar
texts.
Students completing this course will learn valuable skills.
- how to create, place, and punctuate relative clauses in order to write more sophisticated sentences
- a simple procedure to reduce the number of words in a sentence to help you search for subjects and verbs
- how to use a simple chart that unlocks the mystery of differentiating the major parts of speech
- how to use the words and structures you are being taught in your own sentences
- understanding the fundamentals of grammar in such a way that you will not forget them but will use them effectively
