Spoken English Blog/Website: Learn to speak fluently The Telegraph Bookshop | Gwynne's Grammar by N M Gwynne (9780091951450) See inside The following is an extract from this title: Chapter Two A Note of Encouragement Here is a step-by-step proof (yes, a proof that really is valid!) Step one. Step two. Step three. Step four. Step five. In summary of the proof: grammar is the science of using words rightly, leading to thinking rightly, leading to deciding rightly, without which – as both common sense and experience show – happiness is impossible.

The Telegraph | The glamour of grammar: an object lesson Gwynne’s little blue bomb is being expanded and republished (with a purple cover) to meet the growing appetite for grammatical knowledge. His grammar slot on Radio 5’s Up All Night has become one of the BBC’s most popular phone-ins. Two teachers from St George’s Church of England Foundation School, Battersea, who joined his Sunday seminar were so fired up by it that they persuaded their head teacher to let him address their Year Six pupils. “Those two teachers absolutely drank it in,” he told me afterwards. It is astonishing that an elderly former businessman who has never been to teacher training college, worn an academic gown or taught in a school should be creating such a commotion. “Michael Gove has a copy of my Grammar,” Gwynne says. The convergence of the pedagogues could be interesting. “They teach nothing useful and peddle a lot of perverse child psychology,” he says. Though many adults over 60 have experienced the Gwynne approach to teaching, no teachers have.
