Review
'It is extremely well and clearly presented' - Forum for Modern Language Studies
‘I have used most of the Chinese grammars out there. This is far and away the best. The entire series is outstanding. Why? Because it's totally practical without getting stuck in grammatical obscurities. It reflects the actual, contemporary use of the language as it is used by ordinary, educated speakers.’ - Harold Goodman, author of the Michel Thomas courses
Product Description
Modern Mandarin Chinese Grammar Workbook is a book of exercises and language tasks for all learners of Mandarin Chinese.
Divided into two sections, the Workbook initially provides exercises based on essential grammatical structures, and moves on to practise everyday functions such as making introductions, apologizing and expressing needs.
With a comprehensive answer key at the back to enable students to check on their progress, main features include:
- exercises graded according to level of difficulty
- cross-referencing to the related Modern Mandarin Chinese Grammar
- topical exercises that develop students' vocabulary base.
Modern Mandarin Chinese Grammar Workbook is ideal for all learners of Mandarin Chinese, from beginner to intermediate and advanced students. It can be used both independently and alongside the Modern Mandarin Chinese Grammar.

I bought this book as a companion to the excellent 'Practical Guide' by the same authors.
The concept is good - exercises that test and reinforce what has been taught in the Guide. The book has the same attractive and easy-to-use design as the Guide. It is helpful to have the answers at the end of the book.
Unfortunately some of the exercises are unsatisfactory. In some cases the answers directly contradict the advice given in the Guide. The leaves the learner wondering whether the answers are incorrect or whether there are alternative usages, not explained in the Guide. In other cases the answers introduce new concepts or vocabulary that the learner could not possibly be expected to learn from the Guide. An example of a particularly unhelpful set of exercises is the one on prepositions.
This book could have been really useful if it had been checked more carefully (it is difficult to imagine that any learners were asked to trial the exercises before publication). It would also have been useful if the answers were accompanied by explanatory notes.
The book is not a total disaster but it could have been much better.

I am studying Conversational Mandarin and have taken two exams., at level-1 and level -2. This is the first time I have used Kindle ebooks reader for Mandarin. The book is very helpful and extremely well laid out with pharases excercises and revision. My only advise to the author is that the answers are right at the back of the book rather than after the end of each chapter. This means that you have to go to the back of the book to find if you have got the right answer to the excercise. I hope the author would take notice and assist in providing the answers at the end of each chapter. It would benefit the reader as well as the learner.

This is a brilliant accompaniment to the Modern Mandarin Chinese Grammar book- one of the best resources for Chinese learners on the market. Using the books in tandem means you can read about a grammar point, and then turn to the corresponding chapter in the workbook to find exercises to help cement this knowledge. The book also includes answers, is extremely well laid out and user-friendly. Highly recommended!
