Summary of Lester Kaufman & Jane Straus's The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 A noun is a word or set of words that refers to a person, place, thing, or idea. A noun of more than one word is called a compound noun. There are common nouns and proper nouns.

#2 Verbs are often made up of more than one word. They are typically two words long and function as a main verb and one or more helping verbs. They are typically used to clarify the intended meaning.

#3 The most stubborn English superstition is the split infinitive, which is when you insert a word between the to and the verb in an infinitive. Split infinitives are unnecessary and clumsy.

#4 When none is intended to mean not one, it is followed by a singular verb. When none is intended to mean not any, it is followed by a plural verb.
