Norwegian Grammar Book

Michal Ryszard Wojcik (2001 December 04):

I ordered a Norwegian grammar book through the Internet. Today it came to me by mail. I looked through this book page by page. Now I have a good idea about the content of the book. I am very glad that I have it. When I was browsing the book, I read many sentences, and I felt that I find Norwegian grammar beautiful. I want to spend my time reading the book and absorbing Norwegian grammar.

I have two goals in mind related to this grammar book. First, I want to investigate the subject of grammar rules: I want to understand what grammar rules are, and how useful they are for learning a foreign language. Second, I want to start writing my own sentences. For that I need to have a collection of example sentences that I can follow. Let me quote a passage that I wrote to the Internet bookshop when I was looking for a suitable grammar book.

I need a book which has many example sentences that demonstrate Norwegian grammar. I need simple sentences that are specially designed to demonstrate grammar. The book I need must be organized so that I can find an example sentence for the grammar structure that I need to use when composing my own sentences.

I will be writing my own sentences, noticing what grammar structures are needed, and then looking them up in the grammar book. Then I will make my sentence similar to the example sentences. Thus I want to avoid making mistakes.

Can you help me decide which book I need?

I had already finished reading the Norwegian grammar book.

I did not write a report because I had lost enthusiasm for publication. The reason is that the only feedback I get is from my closest friends for whom I do not need to publish on the Internet.
