Title: Confusing first chapter
Product review: So far I've read Chapter 1. I have not found it to be as clearly written as I had expected. I teach ESL, and "modal verbs" and "complements" are too much at this early level. I find myself reorganizing the material to make it more easily understood. I underlined important parts of sentences. Sometimes the author titles well, but at other times he uses titles like "Jumbled" and "Organized." Then for confusion, on page 3: "A compound sentence is a sentence made up of two or more sentences, not clauses, linked together by words such as 'and' and 'or' called conjunctions." On page 17 he writes: "Compound sentences are formed by joining two independent clauses with a conjunction." Which is it?
