Descriptive grammar - pictures

An essential part of studying English Studies is descriptive grammar. This subject makes trouble for students - Almost every student has a problem understanding it. Lots of teachers, who teach at elementary school or in High school, have only a superficial knowledge of descriptive grammar. It is not enough knowledge to pass on to their pupils. During my first year in College, I realised that my knowledge about consonants, vowels and the other branches of descriptive grammar was weak. I thought it is high time to made up my lost time.
