The great draw of the book is Woods' wonderful sense of humor in presenting examples of usage. Moreover, for migrants and immigrants to understand and appreciate the humor of their newly adopted country in North America is a faster track toward integration. The new edition (THIRD, 2017) presents many humorous examples. Here are two brief examples from the new edition about omission/inclusion of apostrophes.“Taking a walk recently, I noticed an odd sign: GRANDMAS PUNCH. Interesting, I thought. Grandmas punch whom? Their grandchildren? Surely not! People who refuse to look at one more photo of the adorable tykes? Possibly. I soon realized that the sign was in front of a bar. Ah, I thought. Grandma’s punch – a drink made from a family recipe” (page 168). Recalling this humorous example will bring to active memory the specific underlying grammar rule more likely than the bare rule itself. Professional copyeditors have observed that misuse of it’s/its is among the most frequent errors in manuscripts submitted to them. Woods writes: “It’s an its problem. I’m not talking about how a poison-ivy rash feels. I’m talking about a possessive pronoun ('its') and a contraction ('it’s'). 'Its' shows possession: The computer has exploded, and its screen is now decorating the ceiling. It’s means it is: It’s raining cats and dogs, but I don’t see any alligators. So it’s nice to know that grammar has its own rules. By the way, one of those rules is that no possessive pronoun ever has an apostrophe. Ever. Never. Never ever. Remember: If 'it' owns something, dump the apostrophe” (pages 336-337).The paragraph above opens with an easy-to-remember sentence that illustrates inclusion as well as omission of apostrophe, presents two more examples in the middle, and closes with another easy-to-remember sentence that illustrates inclusion as well as omission of apostrophe.The numerous witty examples in this 400-page book earn it five shiny stars. Its companion Workbook edition 2 is equally good. I look forward to the publication of its (NOT it’s) companion Workbook's third edition.C. J.

I learned most of these rules decades ago to a point where they became second nature to me. This book puts the rules in perspective and brings them down to a level I can even translate into my own 1st grade classroom. It's tone is father conversational and lighthearted but the author never loses sight of why the reader chose to purchase this material. Clear explanations and fun at the same time. A total win-win!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful spplemant. *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2019* I am teaching 20 young men English who are Vietnamese speakers. Every night they must learn 10 new words — one lesson. This is a supplement to another program that we are using. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/110229117-english-grammar-for-dummies-for-dummies-lifestyle](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/110229117-english-grammar-for-dummies-for-dummies-lifestyle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
