The English Grammar Companion eBook is a concise yet thorough resource, aimed at high school students, GCE candidates, and anyone keen on mastering the English language.

Sample Topics

Reported Speech

Dive into the rules and nuances of converting direct speech into indirect speech. From tense backshifting to pronoun changes, this section equips you to summarize conversations and relay messages with clarity and precision.

Inversions

Expressing Result

Learn how to connect actions to their outcomes with phrases like “therefore,” “as a result,” and “so… that.” This section will teach you to articulate cause-and-effect relationships effectively in both formal and informal settings.


Subject-Verb Agreement

Understand the foundational rule of matching subjects and verbs in number and person. This chapter covers common pitfalls, such as indefinite pronouns, collective nouns, and phrases that separate the subject and verb, to ensure grammatical accuracy in your writing.
