Format:Paperback
The whole series is invaluable to EFL / ESL teachers and students. Strongly recommended for practical use in the classroom and self study for students.
Those new to teaching foreign students will also find this book helpful for improving their own grammar. Exercises in the book can be used in lessons making this book a long-term investment.

...if it were possible I would have given 10 stars to this book!
The units are perfectly well organized.
It is really a self-study reference and practice book for intermediates, as mentioned on the front cover.
It not only talks about each subject in general, but also gives very many and very illustrative examples. Whenever appropriate, it compares with other grammatical forms.
One more important thing about this book is that it warns you about what "not to say"... This clears all the doubts in your mind about confusing alternatives.
There is also a section about the differences of American English an British English.
I use this book as a reference. I covers almost all the topics in English Grammar. Whenever I feel I need to repeat some subject, I just find the corresponding unit(s) from the contents. Usually there is no need to read all the previous units in order to be able to understand the "unit" that "you need" to study.
What else can I say!
Special thanks to Raymond Murphy and Cambridge University Press for this wonderful product.

I teach English to foreign students, they love this book. It is well laid out with lots of examples and exercises. It is part of a series and this (blue) book is best for intermediate students. I also recommend the other (red) book in the series for elementary students ISBN 3-12-533605-8 and the supplementary exercises that go with the series.

One of the best grammar book I have ever used
I used it a lot for teaching classes and as a self-reference, this book is clear and easy to understand, on top of it there are tons of exercises to practise, which is brilliant.

A Classic
Murphy is a classic in TEFL. The students like the way grammar is broken into pieces and made accessible. I have had many students who despised 'grammar' but loved 'Murphy'. Read more
