English Grammar and Composition  (English, Paperback, Chandan Sukumar SenGupta)

Language, however, is not confined to the utterance of single words. To express our thoughts we must put words together,—we must combine them into groups; and such groups have settled meanings (just as words have), established (like the meanings of single words) by the customs or habits of the particular language that we are speaking or writing. Further, these groups are not thrown together haphazard. We must construct them in accordance with certain fixed rules. Otherwise we shall fail to express ourselves clearly and acceptably, and we may even succeed in saying the opposite of what we mean. Several other facts related to English Language will be revealed from the repeated study of this handbook. All the contents are prepared on the basis of the areas in which fellow learners oftem feel difficulties.
