Preface

Dynamic English Grammar and Composition has been designed according to
the new English Curriculum prescribed by the Curriculum Development
Centre. The series comprises of ten textbooks from grade one to grade ten.
The present book is an amalgamation of survey of rules, structures and
forms presented in lucid modern English and illustrated with numerous
examples.
The aim of this book is to bring about a change in teaching and learning
English grammar and composition-a change that will enable the learners to
use grammar in context using both inductive and deductive approaches
aiming to develop four language skills immensely. Practice in composition
tasks will help to develop the learner’s writing skills. It will encourage to writing
their own thoughts, ideas and feelings.
This new edition contains huge examples and their application to
communicative approach that will increase the quality learning of English
grammar. It is thought that this change will improve the standard and
acceptability of the book and I will consider the attempts fruitful if the students
find the book fruitful.
I have left no stone unturned for the meaningful presentation of subject
matter to make it reader friendly. Detailed description of grammatical
structures and adequate exercises on them, plenty of guided and free writing
composition with enough practice questions, an adequate amount of vocabulary
related sections and as much as necessary self study materials have been
presented in the following chapters.
I am thankful to Shubharambha Publication Pvt. Ltd. for their encouragement,
co-operation and help in preparing this book.
At last, I would like to assure all the concerned teachers, students and
readers that constructive comments and suggestions shall be tremendously
appreciated and incorporated in the upcoming edition.
