Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Method of English, Vol. 1: For Secondary Schools This little book professes to be, not an English Grammar, but a course of English Lessons for the junior forms of Secondary Schools. It contains, indeed, all the grammar that is of any importance, but it contains other things too, and is written with a certain definite intention. It is intended for children who already Speak and write English fairly well, and who are beginning to learn another lan guage. Now, it is notorious that such children are apt to pre sume on their knowledge, and to neglect and despise the English lesson. Yet they cannot follow a long sentence, or understand poetical diction, and when they come to the syntax of a foreign language they blunder sadly from mere ignorance of the functions of words in their own language. Who, for instance, has ever taught the' use of prepositions with the infinitive in French, or of at with the subjunctive in Latin, without finding that he had to give a lesson in English grammar as well? In truth, the higher work of schools is perpetually hampered by the neglect of English in the lower classes. It is often said, and is sometimes true, that, sooner or later, pupils learn English grammar through Latin, but many of them learn neither, and the process is in any case unreasonable.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...verbs of the active voice: Tunes were played by the band. The tunes were liked by the people. Money was wanted by the band. Nothing was paid. Complaints were made by the band, and the music was stopped. 3. Give both participles of the verbs to love, be, have, do, strike, smite, bring, teach, call, stick, break, see, creep, cut. 4. 'The field was strewn with dead and wounded men who were lying where they had fallen. A few had crawled into the ditch, which was less exposed to the fire and the trampling of the cavalry. The distant rattling of musketry showed that the fight had not yet ceased.j In this passage point out the participles, and parse those which are really passive. LESSON V. Auxiliary Verbs. The compound tenses of any verb are formed by joining the infinitive mood or one of the participles with an auxiliary verb (compare p. 90). The auxiliary verbs are be, have, do, shall, mil, may. Each of these auxiliaries serves a distinct purpose, therefore several of them may be used together. 1. The verb to be is used as auxiliary to a present participle when the action meant is continuous (or lasting some time): as 'I am loving, ' 'I was weeping.' The same verb is used as auxiliary to a passive participle (i.e. the past participle of a transitive verb) to make the passive voice: as 'I am loved, ' ' I was hated.' Both uses are combined in such an expression as 'I am being loved, ' where am marks the passive voice, being the continuous action. 2. The verb to have is used as auxiliary to a past participle when the action meant is completed: as 'I have loved, ' 'I had waited.' The auxiliary have may be joined with the participles had and been, so that we can say 'I have had, ' and 'I have been.' 3. The verb do is used as auxiliary with t
