The grammar strand of the Interactions Mosaic 4th Edition series addresses the academic grammar needs
of students at five language proficiency levels. Each text

step-by-step through all the major grammatical structures of
English.

continuous, past, and past continuous. Also included are
contractions, nouns, prepositions, adverbs, commands,
adjectives, affirmative and negative statements, and
affirmative and negative questions.
