Summary: "The Structure of the English Sentence" by Lillian G. Kimball is an instructional textbook focused on English grammar written in the late 19th century. The book aims to enhance readers' understanding of English sentence structure and grammar with an emphasis on the importance of communication and clarity in expressing thoughts. It seeks to transform the often dry study of grammar into a more engaging exploration of language use. At the start of the text, the author outlines a clear vision for how English grammar should be approached, emphasizing that it is not merely a collection of rules but a study of thought and expression. Kimball advocates for analyzing sentences as whole units that convey ideas, encouraging readers to understand the relationships between different components such as subjects and predicates. This foundation sets the stage for examining various aspects of sentence structure, aiming to equip students with the analytical tools necessary for effective writing and communication.
