5.0 out of 5 stars Five star approach to real grammar, 17 Jul 2008

By	Mr. C. Napier-Kristiansson "Avengers-fan" (Scotland/Luxembourg) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book really is a gem given its size and the amount of grammar it covers. It is invaluable for answering all of the difficult questions TESOL teachers may face, e.g. phrasal verbs, modality and compound nouns etc. It also explains why written and spoken grammars are so different, and should be treated as so. All of the examples used are from a corpus of real language. I have used it both in my undergraduate and now post-graduate work. It is simply the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars The nitty-gritty of English usage, 1 Aug 2008

By	Sally Douglas (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Longman Student's Grammar of Spoken and Written English (Grammar Practice) (Paperback)

An invaluable reference book if you want to get right down to the real nitty-gritty of grammatical usage. Detailed and extensive, descriptive rather than prescriptive, and corpus-based, this is a grammar for the C21st.

3.0 out of 5 stars Longman Student Grammar - Could Be Longer, 2 Feb 2009

By	George Eliot - See all my reviews

Very useful revision book for students and professionals who need to understand how the English language works. There are answers included so you can check your progress. My only criticism would be that the book is quite slim - I did not feel that I had properly consolidated a topic before moving onto the next one. More please. This book offers practical exercises as a companion book to The Longman Student's Grammar of Spoken and Written English (Grammar Practice). It is recommended for advance study by the Open University for a level 3 course E303 'English Grammar in Context'. This course provides you with a really good CD-Rom with extensive practical exercises. Perhaps Longman's could consider offering such a CD-Rom as an additional learning aid. I found this hyper link to a grammar DVD but I have not seen it. English Grammar: Sentence Structure [2004] (REGION 1) (NTSC). Also these CD-Roms might be useful English Grammar In Use with Answers and CD ROM Klett Edition: A Self-study Reference and Practice Book for Intermediate Students of English,Macmillan English Grammar in Context Intermediate with Key and CD-ROM Pack,Advanced Grammar in Use With CD ROM.
