Description
This comprehensive survey of grammar is written in simple modern English with numerous examples to illustrate each point. The use of tenses, auxiliary verbs and other areas which cause particular difficulty have been treated with especial care and fullness. The difference between ordinary conversational usage and the strict grammatical form is indicated wherever necessary. Two volumes of exercises with keys accompany this book and are cross-referenced.
In the third edition explanations and examples have been rewritten and brought up to date to reflect current usage. New material has been added to the chapters on prepositions, pronouns, infinitives, gerunds, future and conditional forms, and reported speech.
Intended for intermediate and advanced students, this Grammar is also a useful source of reference for teachers.
