Course objectives
This course follows up Grammar 2, which is methodologically as well as topic-wise inspired by a modern corpus-based grammar, the Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English. Having completed the course, the students will have an overview of the structure of the English language as far as its grammar is concerned. In this last part of the course, the students move from phrases to sentence structures.
