The grammar book you need
9 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are an intermediate or advanced student and you feel you need reliable English grammar information and practice, you should buy this book.
If you are an ESL instructor and you are looking for materials that will help you answer the questions your students keep asking you, you owe it to yourself and your students to look at this book.
There is no better grammar practice book for upper-intermediate to advanced students of American English available than Grammar in Use.
----
As a longtime ESL professional with many years of experience both in the USA and abroad, I have been working with various Cambridge University Press "In Use" titles since the beginning of my career. At present, I work in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as an adult ESL instructor for Allegheny County's community-based adult program and I also do corporate ESL training on a contracted basis.
Grammar In Use is my standard grammar reference text for all upper-intermediate to advanced ESL groups working to learn English for general purposes. I ask practically all my private students at these levels to buy this book, or I buy it for them. The majority find that it is the best investment in their English language learning they have ever made.
The third edition of GIU incorporate the changes made in the British third edition of this book. These include a number of new units greatly expanding coverage of phrasal verbs and also minor but important changes to the explanations and exercises throughout the book. These small changes bring grammar explanations up to date with shifting usage patterns today, and also tweak a few descriptions to make explaining grammar issues easier for instructors.
The order of things in the English language teaching world today is that the majority of US-trained ESL instructors tend to use the Azar series for regular grammar supplementation theory and exercises, while British-trained instructors prefer the "In Use" titles. I've used both over the years. For a previous edition of this book, another reviewer on this site, in an excellent technical review, has already outlined all my primary professional objections to the Azar series. The reviewer has also touched on the main reasons why far too many US-based ESL instructors continue to rely on the Azar titles as much as they do.
It may seem strange that two professionals would explicitly mention the Azar titles in a negative context in reviews for another book, but I can only say in response that I am very thankful it has been years since the last time I was asked to adopt the Azar books as set texts in an ESL class.
I only wish that I had had the chance to read something like this or had been able to use it to discuss grammar supplementation policies with some of the ESL managers I worked with in the earlier years of my own career, and that's why I've written and posted it here.

Grammar in use
26 April 2009
Format:Paperback
Very nice updated book. Probably one of the best references for English grammar. It is the third edition who looks like the other ones. They renewed essentially the design but the lessons remain the same as the previous edition.
Good book for the students who are looking for a strong intermediate grammar reference. If you have the previous version, you do not really need to buy this one. Do not forget to get the advanced grammar book from the same author, which is more focus on writing English.

Exactly as I expected it
29 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was ordering this book for my wife's english class and so far I'm really happy with the choice. It is well structured and contains detailed definition of not only the more frequently used terms. Definitely a must-have to anybody willing to become skillful in using the correct english.
