Why settle for a normal book on grammar when you could learn new things about it and become your own best self at the same time?
If you’re looking for a traditional manual of rules, this much-acclaimed, groundbreaking book by a cofounder of Harvard University’s Writing Center may not be the one for you. Grammar is about much more than rules: it’s about choices, too—since a thought can always be expressed correctly in multiple ways.

Weinstein shows that certain tweaks to a person’s grammar can bring consequential changes in his or her fulfillment and well-being.

You will never think of commas or possessive pronouns in the same way again. Your regard for the conjunction “but” is likely to soar.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/4500.html
