More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Good spelling is fundamental to making the right impression with any type of writing; reports, homework, CVs, and letters all require correct spelling in order to get the message across in clear and straightforward English. Adaptable or adaptible? Independent or independant? Delirious or delireous? What is the difference between assent and ascent, dual and duel, or forbear and forebear? How do you make the plural of halo? Is it halos or haloes? Actually it's both, but not so for potato, the plural of which is potatoes. Knowing the difference between easily confusable words, making plurals, and adding endings are just some of the aspects of spelling that confront us with endless pitfalls. This easy-to-use A-Z guide does what no spellchecker can do, it gives immediate access not only to individual word spellings but also to general rules that will help you develop good spelling. The book covers the topics in simple and helpful terms and also offers advice on how to use apostrophes and hyphens, and the differences between British and American spelling. The core of the book is a list of over 2000 words laid out for quick and easy reference. Based on evidence of misspelling gathered from real situations, this guide is the most useful and comprehensive help on spelling available.

This is really not a little booklet that you will start from end to bottom, but keeping it handy and every now and then having a quick look in it helped me personally a lot. Beware, you will need to know some english first.

Not sure who this is intended for. I was hoping to use it with level 1-2 adult literacy learners, but the language used within it is too complicated. The spelling rules are useful, but are also written in a complicated style. Still looking for something more suitable, but haven't found it yet!
Format:Paperback
Very helpful for going over the basics again!! Handy pocket size for instant reference.
