Question:
I'm trying to find a good guide to English grammar that is designed for
the native speaker of English. Like most of those whose first language
is English, I don't really know the rules of English grammar - beyond
the very basic. I need something that has practice exercises with an
answer key. I need to be able to identify a "linking verb phrase", an
"action verb phrase", the adjectives and adverbs - and be able to tell
the difference between the two.
Answer:
No. If I were, I wouldn't have said that my first language is English.
That is, my native tongue, my Mother Tongue - however you want to put
it. What I was trying to say was that I didn't want an English grammar
that is designed for those learning English as a second language. Most
of the books on English grammar out there seem to be of that type.
Btw, I can't believe that on the internet of all websites you'd
leave a proper noun uncapitalized.
