The article discusses the treatment of grammar in composition courses, which is different from that in reading and even in speaking courses. Emphasized are 1) the proper selection of grammatical and syntactical topics; 2) the need for an active knowledge of word formation as a prerequisite of a good style; 3) the need for exercises in complete sentences and for the presentation of grammar from a psychological point of view.
