Product Description

Readers of all levels will find this guide essential. Giving examples of real usage, this book provides the basic information about grammar and punctuation that people need on a day-to-day basis. Arranged A-Z, it contains entries for standard grammatical terms as well as dealing with related questions of usage. In addition to explaining basic terms such as 'split infinitive', 'participle', and 'adverb', entries also discuss whether to use 'may or might', 'that or which', and 'it's or its'. The Oxford A-Z of Grammar and Punctuation gives the reader quick and easy access to the answers to these, and many other, questions of grammar. It offers clear and coherent explanations and illustrations across a broad range of topics, and is the first port of call for any reader seeking clear, authoritative help with grammar and punctuation. Both easy to use and comprehensive, the Oxford A-Z of Grammar and Punctuation is an essential tool for writing at home, in the office, at school, and at college.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little gem, 12 Jan 2009

By	D. Stobbs "David Stobbs" (Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Oxford A-Z of Grammar and Punctuation (Paperback)

If you have a reasonably basic grasp of grammar, you will find this book a little gem that can be carried around with ease. I've gifted a copy to many EFL teachers in Ukraine and most if not all find it a very useful quick source of reference. It's a real bargain from Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good quick reference, 9 Aug 2005

By	"timfgmorgan" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oxford A-Z of Grammar and Punctuation (Paperback)

The grammar is a little patchy but the punctuation entries are excellent as quick guides (to solve problems when writing or teaching without having to plough through hundreds of pages of 'exceptions' to rules).
