• Kinds of nouns — common, proper, collective and abstract nouns (Exercises 3 and 4), including collective nouns such as herd, army and crew
• Abstract nouns — forming nouns such as length, strength, width and height, and nouns built with suffixes like -hood, -ship, -ism and -age (manhood, ownership, heroism, bondage)
• Kinds of adjectives — descriptive (quality), quantity, numeral, distributive, demonstrative and interrogative adjectives (Exercises 6 and 7)
• Adjectives in use — Exercises 8 to 13: matching adjectives with nouns, completing sentences, and opposites such as many–few, wild–tame, hot–cold and honest–dishonest
• Degrees of comparison — Exercises 14 to 20: positive, comparative and superlative forms, and rewriting sentences from one degree to another (for example "Latif is more industrious than most other boys — Comparative")

Worked examples from the pages

A few short samples of the answer style you will find (taken from the exercises shown in the gallery):

• Exercise 20 (changing the degree): “Jupiter is bigger than any other planet. (Comparative)” — “Jupiter is the biggest planet. (Superlative)”

About the Wren & Martin course

Wren & Martin’s High School English Grammar & Composition is one of the best-known English grammar textbooks in the subcontinent. Teachers use it to take learners from parts of speech and the structure of the sentence through tenses, clauses, active and passive voice and direct and indirect speech, towards composition. A key like this one is what turns the textbook into a self-study course: you attempt the exercise, then see the exact answer and the working.

Who benefits from a Wren & Martin key?

Students in the upper school years who study English grammar from Wren & Martin; learners preparing for entry tests and competitive exams that include grammar and sentence correction; teachers and tutors who want a quick answer reference; and self-learners who need to know why an answer is correct, not just what it is. Because the key follows the textbook's exercise numbers, you can work through a chapter and then check the answers exercise by exercise.

Common grammar traps this key helps you catch

• Confusing collective and abstract nouns (crowd, team and class are collective; truth, bravery and time are abstract)
• Using the wrong kind of adjective — quantity (much, little), numeral (several, few), distributive (every, either) or demonstrative (same, such)
• Forgetting that some adjectives have no degrees of comparison (for example dead, any, other and no — the key marks these with an asterisk)
• Rewriting sentences between positive, comparative and superlative without changing the meaning
• Mixing up subject and predicate in inverted sentences such as “On the top of the hill lives a hermit”

How to use a key properly

1. Read the rule in the main textbook and attempt the exercise on paper before opening the key.
2. Mark your answers with the key, and note each mistake with the rule it breaks.
3. Redo only the questions you got wrong after one day, then again after a week.
4. Use the comparison-of-adjectives and noun exercises as warm-ups before sentence-correction practice.
