English Grammar Really Can Be Clear and Simple: Learn what it means. Practice it.
For intermediate and advanced students who are not satisfied with just remembering "the rules", but want to know why.
Deepen your understanding of the meaning behind the grammar.
Real Grammar helps you make sense of English and use it in the way a native speaker does.
Images for Visual Learners
- More pictures, fewer words. Images make explanations much easier to understand.
- See why the grammar applies (even when it doesn't follow "the rules").
- Compare grammar points. Images make the differences clear.
Explanations in Everyday English
- Explanations in simple English support the images.
- Knowing grammar terminology is not necessary; however, terminology is provided in fine print for cross-referencing with other resources.
Meaningful Practice
- In real life, there is often more than one way you can say something. In Real Grammar, there is not only one correct answer to every problem. The answer key describes the way of thinking behind each possible answer.
- The best answer is not the one that follows "the rules," but the one that matches your thoughts. You say what you are trying to say.
In your first language, you are a strong communicator because you are familiar with the patterns, words, and phrases of the language and understand what they mean. This is also what you need to learn English.
Becoming familiar takes practice. However, as you study English, you'll often wonder why English speakers say things the way they do, and what the phrases really mean.
Real Grammar helps you understand the meaning behind the grammar and how it works. Make sentences that are not only correct, but also communicate your ideas with clarity and precision.
