Description From The Author: During the years in which "Higher Lessons" has been in existence, we have ourselves had an instructive experience with it in the classroom. We have considered hundreds of suggestive letters written us by intelligent teachers using the book. We have examined the best works on grammar that have been published recently here and in England. And we have done more. We have gone to the original source of all valid authority in our language - the best writers and speakers of it...
Graded Lessons in English: an Elementary English Grammar Consisting of One Hundred Practical Lessons, Carefully Graded and Adapted to the Class - Room. The teacher is recommended, before assigning any lesson, to occupy the time of at least two or three recitations, in talking with his pupils about language, always remembering that, in order to secure the interest of his class, he must allow his pupils to take an active part in the exercise.
The book includes photocopiable activities, ready-to-use in class, as well as ideas for creating your own 'awareness-raising' tasks to help students to acquire grammar.
With this textbook, Yehuda N. Falk provides an introduction to the theory of Lexical-Functional Grammar, aimed at both students and professionals who are familiar with other generative theories and now wish to approach LFG. Falk examines LFG`s relation to more conventional theories—like Government/Binding or the Minimalism Program—and, in many respects, establishes its superiority.

Following in the tradition of Joanne Kimes’s signature “let’s just close our eyes and get through this together” humor, along with Gary Robert Muschla’s gentle grammar technique, Grammar Sucks is for everyone who hates the rules but wants to follow them anyway. It’s the next best thing to learning them by osmosis!
