Practice Makes Perfect, English Problem Solver, Swick E., 2013.

   This book is aptly named a problem solver. Unlike other publications for learning English, it does not look at all aspects of grammar and structure; rather, it isolates those things in the language that non-natives often find complex or confusing. It then describes them, analyzes the complexities that cause confusion, and provides explanations and examples of how the problem areas work.
This series of books is intentionally called Practice Makes Perfect, for that idea is basic to learning and mastering a new language.




Capitalization.
European languages all use capitalization as a way of highlighting certain kinds of vocabulary. English is no different. There was a time when capitalization in English was a bit easier, because the general rule was to capitalize all nouns. Look at the following excerpt from the US Constitution and notice that all the nouns are capitalized.

Article I—The Legislative Branch.
Section 1—The Legislature.
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Section 2—The House.
The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.
