This significantly refreshed and revised course by Dr. Rod Campbell provides teachers with specific strategies and tactics for the explicit teaching of clause types, verb groups, and the application of this knowledge to the writing of different varieties of sentences. Aligned with the latest curriculums and syllabuses, this is a practical and clear grammar course for teachers wanting to consolidate their knowledge about the teaching of clauses and sentence types.
