Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essentials of German Grammar
In every branch of knowledge there are essentials which should be thoroughly learned, yes, memorized, by the student; and he is Often puzzled to know just what those essentials are to which he should cling. This book contains a brief outline of the parts of speech, of the word-order, of case-constructions, and of the subjunctive mode; in fact, it gives those things which even student of German should master sometime early in his course. It is not intended that this book should take the place of a complete German grammar, because many details had to be omitted, to keep it within the bounds of essentials. As the parts of speech are given in regular order, an index was not considered necessary, and is not inserted. While the outline is my own, I have received valuable hints from the excellent grammars of Whit ney, Joynes and Thomas. My aim throughout has been to enable the student to grasp the subject more easily and thoroughly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
