Review
'Essential Grammar in Use is highly recommendable for the use of self-study or as supplementary course material because of its clarity, conciseness, illustrative examples, convenient arrangement, and outstanding lay-out.' VVLE Newsletter, Belgium, 1997
'Never heard of Murphy? Well, then it is high time you rush to the nearest book shop and buy it. It is still the best grammar book and has been so for the last 12 years … The explanations – always one page – of any grammar item are clear and illustrated not only with good examples but also motivating pictures. On the page facing these explanations you are offered a good selection of exercises. They are easy to understand and also illustrated with pictures.' 'If you feel your students need and also want more of them, there is the volume with the Supplementary Exercises. This means no work for you, you do not have to make up your own examples – it is all there.' ETAS, Switzerland, 1997

I have been using this book, as have students of mine, for many years. Simply great, clear, and simple with the Blue-Green intermediate book to follow it up. It's got only two faults. One it's overpriced in spain but then again so are most books. Secondly the exercises can be over long, I suggest that odd or even numbers only are done and the others missed out, so long as no mistakes are made.
Apart from this its excellent especially since all the students I've used it with have loved it. the format is excellent the layout is clear even the size is just right. an essential teaching or learning aid.

The item was just what I was expecting. It was the second addition, but the older version with the old cover. It was used but had very little wear. Thanks ;)

Great book for teachers

I teach business English in China. Murphey's book is a great tool for teachers. I especially like the diagnostic tests in the back of the book. You can use these to determine what exactly your student needs. Then you can just give the student the exact lessons the student needs. The lessons are laid out so there is one lesson on a page and a quiz on the opposite page. Excellent tool and a must have for teachers.

A Valuable Resource
13 April 2005
By T. Hooper
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As an English teacher, I use this book as my grammar bible. This book comes in two volumes: one for beginners and one for intermediate students. Each book covers over 100 grammar points. Each point gets two pages. On one page there is an excellent explanation of the grammar point along with examples. On the facing page, lots of grammar exercises are provided.
I don't use this as my classroom text since the activities don't lend themselves to communication. However, the communicative texts I do use either have poor or non-existant grammar explanations. When students have difficult questions about grammar, I often check with this book, since the explanations are quite clear and easy to understand. If students request some grammar practice homework, then I let them do the grammar activities as homework. It really helps students improve their accuracy.
I definitely recommend this to English teachers and students who are studying English. It would be a great reference book, and a good self-study supplement for students. If you can only afford one volume, I recommend the intermediate one because it answers some really diffult grammar questions well.
