CONFUSED ABOUT GRAMMAR
AND WRITING STYLE?

Participles can answer all your questions.

It’s the most useful, practical book available on today’s use of American language and writing practices:

  • A writing textbook and grammar style book all in one

  • Simple, understandable, humorous examples

  • Logical, easy ways to remember the rules

  • A handy reference book for office, home and school

A superb gift for executives, managers, administrative assistants, office professionals, writers, copywriters, editors, students, those wishing to learn English as a second language (or improve it as a first), and anyone who has to write, type or edit.

Topics include:

How have the rules of writing changed?
How do you achieve bias-free communication?
How do you improve clarity and reduce rambling?
Why shouldn’t your participles dangle?
When should you use I instead of me? Lie instead of lay?
Which sentence structure gets the best results?
Why is active voice more effective than passive?
What are the guidelines for email?
Do you need a comma in your sentence?
How do you address a senator in a letter?
What’s the most efficient way to proofread?
And much more!


M. Kay duPont’s first edition of this excellent writing style guide has been my frequent companion for years. I’m delighted to see her comprehensive revisions in this 2006 revision; they make learning grammar and language usage simpler than ever.

Thank you, Kay! I appreciate
and need this book.

I've owned a copy of this book since 1984 and have referenced it literally thousands of times. It's easy to use, you can find what you need quickly—and all with a touch of humor.

This is one of the most comprehensive, easy to read reference books on grammar and basic writing I have ever read. The author’s prose style is light, yet confident in her knowledge —simultaneously making readers comfortable while convincing them of her credibility. The writing is also compelling, making for an extremely readable book. The interior layout is conducive to easy reference, including a solid table of contents and very helpful index and glossary. The proofreading section, while basic, is straightforward and easy to grasp, as are the sections on email and letter writing.
—Writer's Digest
