A Course in Grammar and Composition (for classes IX and X) has been written for high school students. The course aims at familiarising learners with the rules of grammar and the use of grammatical structures. In some ways, the approach adopted in this book is different from other grammar textbooks. It provides explanations from the standpoint of learners’ problems in coping with the grammar of a language that is neither their mother tongue nor a language that is commonly used for social communication.
