Stephen Watkins Clark created this grammar wheel in 1847, intended to be used in conjunction with his book, A Practical Grammar: In which Words, Phrases, and Sentences are Classified According to Their Offices, and Their Relation to Each Other.
Clark wrote that “speech is the body of thought,” which is a powerful idea, since it is the medium in which our thoughts are spread to others. According to Clark, once you master each section, you’ll not only be a true grammarian of the English language, but at the same time, a better thinker.
