Product Description

Product Description
A guide to problem areas of English grammar and vocabulary for Spanish students at a lower intermediate level and upwards. Its 338 short articles explain those points of language that most frequently cause difficulty. It also explains the difference between formal and informal language. Each entry is arranged alphabetically and is illustrated with examples of acceptable (and sometimes faulty) usage. Correct examples are highlighted in a different colour. It provides a comparison between the structures, vocabulary and idiomatic expressions of English and Spanish and an explanation of the differences between formal and informal language. The design of this book is similar to that of the "Practical English Usage" also by Michael Swan, but which is designed for students at a lower level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brush Up Your Own Grammar, 17 Dec 2000
By A. Arnold (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having reviewed another book for EFL / ESL teachers alike I was emailed several times by native speakers of English wanting to know if the grammar book I reviewed was of use to them.

Very often I referred these people to this book. No exercises, no messing about, just straight forward terminology and examples of English Grammar.

Anyone attempting to brush up their English grammar will not be disappointed with this book. So many times have I lent it out and so many times have I found out that they have gone and bought another copy of it. Buy it NOW!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on English grammar and usage, 4 Mar 2007
I've been studying English for the most part of my life and I've always be frustrated with English grammar. I thought that English grammar had no clear-cut rules and, therefore, was difficult to explain and understand. I was wrong.

Of course, English grammar is hard (because there are so many rules) but it is easy to understand IF you read this book. After finding this book, the others English grammar books (like English grammar in use) seem bad and you have the impression that their authors don't understand well English grammar.

If you want to know how to use English, please buy it. You won't be disappointed.
