Introduction
Video Aided Instructions English Grammar Series
makes the tricky rules of English grammar easier
to learn than ever before whether youre new to
English or youve been speaking it for years!
Complements perform a crucial task in our sentences
they help us connect our ideas together when we
describe our subjects and their actions. With this
user-friendly program, youll learn about the different kinds of sentence complements and how
they work with subjects and verbs to complete your
thoughts!
Before you begin studying, let us make a few recommendations. First, have a notebook and pen ready so
youre prepared to take notes. Youll probably want
to use the many on-screen graphics to take notes for
yourself when youre done, youll have a notebook
on English grammar that you can refer back to again
and again.
Secondly, dont forget to take advantage of your
pause button while viewing the program. This will
allow you to try to complete the exercises in this
study guide before you view the answers on-screen.
Finally, dont try to absorb too much at one time. By
viewing the program over a number of short sessions
(instead of all at once), youll stay fresher and
retain more of what you learn. And dont forget: you
can review the entire program, or specific sections, as
many times as you need to!
Now you can eliminate embarrassing mistakes from
your speaking and writing forever. Let Video Aided
Instruction be your guide!
