Do I have to work
through

X-Word grammar might focus on a discrete point, but it always does so in the context of the whole sentence. 

(In more advanced books, it considers the whole paragraph or essay.)

There are 25 Lessons in the book

 

In general

 

Verbs: 1-10

 

Noun boxes: 12-21 

 

Clauses and sentences: 22-25 

 

Although 1, 2, 3, and 9 really should be taught and understood, 

you can be more flexible with the other lessons depending on your English abilities and the curriculum.
