  18. Grammar For Novels • Grammar is differently used between different novels. Books have different using, levels, and contents. • Avoid sentence fragments • Never end a sentence in a preposition (except, of course, for the exceptions to that rule) • More systematic, recursive, andexplicit.

  19. Example of Novel Grammars • Subjunctive mood "The last I think; for, O poor old Harry Jekyll, if ever I read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend." - Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Chapter 2

  20. Participial construction “I don’t ask that,” pleaded Jekyll, laying his hand on the other’s arm; “I only ask for justice; I only ask you to help him for my sake, when I am no longer here.” - Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Chapter 3 Also conj.+S+V

  21. Passive Voice • “That is just what I was about to venture to propose,” returned the doctor with a smile. But the words were hardly uttered, before the smile was struck out of his face and succeededby an expression of such abject terror and despair, as froze the very blood of the two gentlemen below. - Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Chapter 7

For example: The Five People You Meet in Heaven This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. it might seem strange to start a story with an ending. (present tense) The last hour of Eddie’s life was spent. At the time of his death, Eddie was a white-haired old man. (past tense)

  25. How to Learn from Novel Grammar For example: Dear John, I’m writing this letter at the kitchen table, and I’m struggling because I don’t know what to say what I’m about to tell you….(present progressive tense and first person ) She was in love with someone. I knew that even before I finished reading the letter. (past tense)
