Dear John,
If you can get a hold of it, you might consider A Short Syntax of New
Testament Greek, by Nunn, originally published by Cambridge in 1924. The
book opens with a glossary of grammatical terms, and follows with a 24 page
summary of English grammar before getting into the Greek grammar and a few
readings from the Apostolic Fathers etc.

Subject: English Grammars
> Dear B-Greekers,
> I am attempting to learn Biblical Greek and finding that my
knowledge
>of English grammar isn't entirely up to the task. Most of the authors who

>terminology, but I would like to study English grammar more thoroughly so
that
>I won't have to wait until I learn Greek
>before truely comprehending English grammar. Yet, many of the authors who
>write tomes about English grammar are either too complicated-like the work
by
>Huddleston which I have looked at-or so easy that I half expect to hear the
>voice of Mr. Rogers intoning, " Can you say, " noun" ? Moreover, some
authors
>will throw around terms like "kernal clause" and "finite clause" while
other
>authors never seem to mention these two concepts but, instead, use
terminology
>which is different in its own odd way. In brief, is there a grammar which
is
>consistent enough in its description of terms and concepts that, as I begin
my
>study of Greek, it will help rather than hinder me in my pursuit of
>proficiency in understanding Greek and English.
> Thanks for your consideration of this question and a happy New Year
to
>all.
