Language is primarily a tool for communication, yet many textbooks still treat English grammar as simply a set of rules and facts to be memorized by rote. This new textbook is made for students who are frustrated with this approach and would like instead to understand grammar and how it works.

This is the essential grammar toolkit for students of English language and linguistics and future teachers of English as a Second Language.

-Student learning is supported with numerous exercises, chapter summaries, and suggestions for further reading.

-An accompanying website offers further resources, including additional classroom exercises and a chance to interact with the author.

-Answers the questions students find most challenging about English grammar.

-Promotes students' understanding through carefully chosen examples from familiar contexts.

-A useful glossary of terms is included, to help students find their meanings easily.
Industry Reviews
