Gregg, I have the 2005 edition of Williams's "The Teacher's Grammar Book." According to the author, the book "is not a handbook, and was never intended to be one," but "was designed to offer an easy-to-use guide to teaching methods and grammar and usage questions, and "it provides an overview of English grammar." "The Teacher's Grammar Book" is not a textbook to be used in teaching grammar, but a review of grammars and teaching methods. Eduard On Thu, 25 May 2006, Gregg Heacock wrote... >I have found James D.
