This book is intentionally written so as to be the middle ground of Chomsky's syntactic structure which is more abstract for learners to understand and traditional books of grammar which do not focus on syntactic structures at all. The motive to write such a book was derived from years of teaching experience to university students from different majors at different proficiency levels. For a while, I also had a chance to teach a number of high school students who were preparing themselves to take university entrance exams. Having read books and attended courses prepared based on traditional grammar books, students could not make the most of their previous learning to comprehending and producing the English language. After figuring out the common hurdles facing university students, and comparing them with more or less the same difficulties of high school students, I decided to write up a book, less pure than that of Chomsky and more syntax-oriented than most traditional grammar books available at bookstores.
