This book starts showing some grammar rules using simple language easy to understand and follow. It includes several exercises to assist the user get familiar with the rules taught in this book. The user of the book can go through the material independently from any teacher of English as a foreign language or in a classroom situation.
Format:Paperback
Basic grammar in use, second edition with a c.d. and answers section is an excellent learning tool for foreign students especially, although not entirely confined to that area, wishing to learn English grammar. Regular and irregular verbs always create havoc for students but the book addresses this problem adequately. I have now bought several copies for my students and to be honest it makes my job so much easier.

A GREAT ASSET
29 May 2003
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've used this book (in its previous editions) for years in many different kinds of classrooms. It not only helps students review material studied in class, but helps me maintain my focus and remember the many details involved with teaching grammar effectively. It is organized in a logical way and its illustrations are wonderfully clear and entertaining. It is concise, but includes many details that help "round out" a student's understanding of grammar use. Its appendices, including regular and irregular verb forms and spelling rules, are excellent.
The only difficulty I have had with this book is its limited applicability in ESL classes where students have fewer literacy skills. The book is densely written (one page gives examples of the grammar point or points, and the facing page contains varying practice exercises) and therefore can be intimidating or simply too dependent on strong reading and writing skills to be beneficial to students whose educational backgrounds have been substantially interrupted or limited. The type is small and tightly spaced, which may be a concern in teaching younger students or those who, though older, haven't acquired the reading or writing skills necessary to benefit from such a text.
All in all, this book is definitely worth the price.

An Institution In Its Own Right
1 Jun 2007
By Bu-Chan
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Raymond Murphy's books are ubiquitous, and rightly so. Murphy is something of an institution, and his books must be about the best selling of their kind globally. I have used them for years.
"Basic Grammar in Use" covers pretty much the Elementary and Pre-Intermediate levels, though there are some useful units that could be used at slightly higher levels. The explanations are simple and accessible, and the exercises provided are pretty straight forward.
The only quibble I would have is the lack of contextual exercises in Murphy's books. It would be nice to see some more text-level exercises for students to practice using the forms in a wider context than sentences.
Apart from that, this is still excellent value for money for teachers and students alike.
