Ch. 1 and 2
I found chapters one and two to be very interesting because it was a quick reminder to myself on how much I don't remember about grammer. I'm excited because I've already learned more from those two chapters then I did all through elementary and junior high school.
In chapter one I liked learning about all the different meanings of grammer and how the meanings of words had changed over time. In chapter two I found it quite interesting on just how many sentence patterns there actually were. At first I was just having trouble remembering the abbreviations and definitions for simple concepts such as linking verb and subject compliment. Did anyone else need a refresher course on just definitions? I was also having trouble diagraming the sentences. I don't think I fully grasp where the lines go and what words they branch off of. If anyone has any suggestions on learning how to diagram sentences I would appreciate the help (or advice).

I definitely needed a refresher course in definitions, but I found that the definitions I learned from the book differed from the traditional ones I'd learned way back in the day. I think the ones from the book really worked better though, considering they had more information and really focused on the specifics of how the word(s) or phrases function.
I needed a refresher on the traditional definitions of the words, and also found the new ones to be slightly confusing at first. I was never taught how to diagram so I am struggling with it as well.
