5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, January 22, 2003

This review is from: Advanced Grammar in Use With answers (Paperback)

Improving your grammatical skills may be very important for several reasons, one of which is to foster your overall language competence. The primary strength of this book is the fact it cotains both lucid explanations and numerous exercises to check your comprehension. In order to ensure understanding, simple explanations of rather advanced elements of grammar have been provided. By the time you master this book, you will have dramatically improved your grammatical skills. I guarantee that! Are you unsure when to use the past perfect vs past simple? What about the proper use of auxiliaries and modal verbs? Pronouns and prepositions? Gerunds and participles? Word order? Definitely a valuable book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book to Compliment the Series, May 24, 2000

This review is from: Advanced Grammar in Use With answers (Paperback)

As an EFL teacher this is a book that finally compliments the 'Grammar in Use' series. A book not only useful to advanced students but to EFL / ESL teachers alike. The content and style remains the same as Raymond Murphey's books in the series, but introduces and practises a higher level of grammar that students using this book have found challenging and has taught them the complexities of the language at higher levels.I strongly recommend to students and teachers to buy this book as it is an invaluable purchase for EFL/ESL classes and self help to advanced students. Your collection should not be without this book.

A very good explanation of various grammar points. The exercises that go with the explanations helps to reinforce the rules of grammar. An excellent homework resource, not just ESL students, but also for native speakers of English.
