The grammar is designed to be used as a reference for addressing structural problems in Czech. The guide is organized into 11 chapters. The first describes the pronunciation of written Czech and explains spelling conventions. Aspects of the language covered here include the alphabet, arrangement of words in the dictionary, vowels, diphthongs, consonants, syllables, word pronunciation, and capitalization of words. The subsequent seven chapters explain major grammatical features and processes related to: nouns; pronouns; adjectives; numerals; verbs; adverbs; and prepositions. The ninth chapter discusses interjections, and the tenth provides notes on syntax. The final chapter gives a somewhat detailed account of colloquial usage, including aspects of pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. (MSE)
