Dixson Robert J. Tests and Drills in English Grammar

Revised Edition. — Regents Publishing Company, 1957. — 191 p.The efficiency of this book will depend greatly upon the skill of the teacher who must do much more than simply explain the exercises and repeat them once or twice with the students. The students must be taught to me what they are studying. They must be given sufficient practice and repetition so that everything that they study is retained and made an active part of their everyday conversation.Simple Negative and Question Form
