The way English was taught to me in school just did not sink in. I'm one of those who has to know "why?". I cannot be taught a rule "just because", I have to know the logic behind it.C. Edward Good (A Grammar Book for You and I (Oops, Me)) is articulate, concise and most importantly explains clearly the reasons behind how and why grammar works. I'm thoroughly impressed with his grammar books and give them my highest recommendation. I recently read one of his books, and it has already dramatically helped my understanding of grammar.Strunk & White's is indeed a classic, and is the ultimate shorthand to grammar book. I recommend keeping it on hand after reading C. Edward Good.td</blockquote>
