For more than a decade, Martin Wiles has taught grammar and language arts to middle schoolers. During that time, he has seen most students struggle to master grammatical concepts. Mastering English Grammar Basics is his attempt to simplify grammatical concepts for the struggler—young person or adult—and to provide a handbook for writers and editors to use in their writing and editing journeys. Although the practical use of grammar is questioned by many, including many educators, Wiles believes—as did most before the Progressive Movement influenced the educational world—that grammar is the foundation stone for success in all other liberal arts subjects.

People who have walked through the doors and joined up and in with smiles on their faces, only later to be devoured … sucked up … and then spit out like a warm glass of salt water. My grandmother called the fish that annoyed her trash. Little fish that would not grab the hook. They would only suck the worm off. After a few times of this happening, she would say to me, “That’s nothing but trash. Throw your line in a different place.” She didn’t want to waste the worms she had spent time cultivating or digging. I can’t remember all the names, but I can see their faces. The ones—for this or...
