A Primer of English Grammar Part Two Problematic Areas Compiled by Z. M. Abdel Aal  & H. Darwish

The book introduces a number of grammatical structures using simple problematic cases. It gives examples of structures wrongly used by learners and corrects them by giving examples of possible correct structures. To consolidate the material in the minds of the readers, the book sets a number of exercises that contain sentence -structure errors and students are asked to decide whether a sentence is correct or incorrect. In this way the learner is given practice in the correct use of the language. It is hoped that this book meets special needs of the students whose main task is to translate English material into Arabic and vice versa , and improves learners' proficiency of the language.

This is the fullest account ever published of Latin suffixes in English. It explores the rich variety of English words formed by the addition of one or more Latin suffixes, such as ial, -able, -ability, -ible, and -id. It traces the histories of over 3,000 words and reveals the range of derivational patterns in Indo-European, Latin, and English. It makes an important contribution to the history of English and Latin morphology and etymology, as well as to the history of suffixal derivation in Indo-European.
