This book deals with basic grammar, formation of grammar, subject-verb agreement, punctuation, and singular/plural which will help one create a good foundation for the language. The author's explanations are so clear and can be understood well. The quizzes prepared by the author are helpful to make you judge how much you have understood the chapters. Abbreviations, numbers, letters; the author has explained them all.

The Scoop on Good Grammar by Margie Blumberg is an easy-to-follow grammar manual. Each section contains a non-grammatical topic that serves as a focus for examples of the grammatical subject covered. The Scoop on Good Grammar covers parts of speech, tenses, case and punctuation, and has self-checking quizzes at the end of each section. This guide is geared towards just about anyone with an interest in language -- from the ESL learner to high school and college students to freelance writers. Common errors and misconceptions are explained with examples showing the correct and incorrect usages. Blumberg also differentiates between what is acceptable and preferable where appropriate. If you get confused between "lie" and "lay" and "bring" and "take", you'll feel a lot better after working through her sections on these verbs.

I have always been interested in grammar and how language works, and have read many books on the subject. I was intrigued when I read a description of The Scoop on Good Grammar by Margie Blumberg. This is one of the most accessible grammar books I have come across. It's really quite entertaining; however, some of the introductory topics may make you hungry. While ingesting verb forms, pronouns, and punctuation, you'll learn about the history of cupcakes and bagels, and what the workers in a pizzeria are called. You'll also learn fascinating details on sculptures, cities, and man's first steps on the moon. Blumberg takes what can be a complex, dry, and exacting subject and makes it fun and understandable. I like The Scoop on Good Grammar and know exactly where to go whenever I need grammatical information. Even those who shudder at the thought of grammar books should be pleasantly surprised and enlightened by The Scoop on Good Grammar.

Do not pick up The Scoop on Good Grammar by Margie Blumberg thinking it is just another boring book on the rules of the English language. While it is a comprehensive guide to English grammar, it is in no way boring. Ms. Blumberg presents the parts of speech and the rules that govern them in a way that allows you to read them as if you were reading a story. Each chapter begins with a paragraph or two about a topic that is not related to the subject the author is teaching, but it gets your attention as she explains how the different parts of speech are used. For instance, she uses a paragraph about ice skating to introduce you to verbs, explaining that the action in the paragraph is described using verbs. Later in the book, the author uses movies to explain the concept of capitalizing titles.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I felt that Margie Blumberg put great effort into simplifying the rules of grammar so that almost anyone at any level can understand them. She uses fonts in varying colors and sizes to emphasize her points, and she supplies more excellent examples of the rules than any other book of this kind. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has the desire to communicate correctly via the written word. The author who needs to brush up on the rules will find it easy to navigate, and the student will find it complete.
