Stay Smart Answer Key: 188 Advanced Sentence Diagramming Exercises: Grammar the Easy Way

Great book.

It brought back all the rules I learned from the nuns in grade school. It not only diagrammed the sentences, it cited the part of speech for each word. Well done.

Great my two girls have excelled into a deeper understanding of grammar.

Excellent book for learning grammar sistematically.

I think grammar is a essential part of a language since it allows us to build a solid structure of a system learners are not familiar to and just bound to get to it.There are several grammar books which help us figure out the elements of the system; however, they do not help us to realize how they are related. We're supposed to do it by ourselves. Surely, ESL will get lost in the middle of the immense amont of information.This book provides a set of connected relations among the topics we find listed in regular grammar books. It's a kind of learning-by-doing process, I mean, there's a straightfoward explanation which gives the necessary key words and content making possible for the learner to identify the functioning of the terms in the sentence and afterwards the diagram itself as a sample. Finally, the key answers for you to check your performance.Anyway, after studying 'Stay Smart' for almost twenty days, I realized my mind started functioning differently. Whenever I see a sentence, I start diagramming it visually so that I clearly understand how the terms are related. It has even helped me understand the functioning of the 'thought groups' better.It's simply amazing!!!

I purchased these exercises and answer key books this summer to prepare for teaching diagramming this fall. It was the best money I ever spent, and by doing a few sentences every day, I was ready to tackled pretty much any sentence that comes my way. This is a gold mine of fun sentences, and a great way to deepen the understanding of how to diagram sentences.This book does not teach, it is a practice book, with a lot of great teaching thrown in as extra. Along with Elizabeth O'Brien's great, easy reading, clear and concise Sentence Reference Diagramming Manual, these two books (exercises and answer key) are all that is needed to gain a thorough grasp on both English grammar and how to diagram sentence. It does not hurt that many of the sentences are entertaining or quirky.I wish I had had these books when I was in school.
