To anyone who has encountered the Grammar Geek, the answer is a resounding well, of course it can! Denis Lacroix is a student from Quebec who is working for the summer as a waiter at the Banff Springs Hotel in the Rocky Mountains. Paul Syme is an English linguistics professor who engages Denis in a conversation about language while relaxing in the hotel's lounge one afternoon. Through a series of daily lessons, Denis learns from Mr. Syme, a.k.a. the Grammar Geek, how to become more accurate in the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The past, present, future, and perfect verb forms<\/li>\n<li>The modals \"can,\" \"could,\" \"may,\" \"might,\" \"must,\" etc.<\/li>\n<li>Adjectives, adverbs, and word order<\/li>\n<li>Nouns and pronouns<\/li>\n<li>The Genitive<\/li>\n<li>Determiners<\/li>\n<li>Prepositions and Phrasal Verbs<\/li>\n<li>Conditionals<\/li>\n<li>Active and Passive Voice<\/li>\n<li>Sentence structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rather than presenting grammar in a dull and uninspiring way, the Geek shows Denis the path to grammatical wisdom through meaningful examples and relevant comparisons to French. Through their conversations, Denis learns about the mistakes that French speakers tend to make and the reasons behind them. He also realizes that when grammar is taught in an understandable and humorous way, learning it can be rewarding and actually fun\u2014yes\u2026 fun! The book includes a variety of practice exercises, such as fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, translation, and contextualization exercises.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can learning grammar be instructive and entertaining?
