Excellent Grammar for Learners,
By
This review is from: Cambridge Grammar of English Paperback with CD ROM: A Comprehensive Guide (Paperback)
This grammar is very different from any other grammar that I've ever seen. Instead of saying what is 'correct' and what's not, it also describes how English is actually used by native speakers.
This is specially useful for those who are learning English as second language, like myself, because it contains a lot of information on frequency of usage that helps on choosing words (between also, as well and too for instance) and has lots of warnings of common English learners mistakes. Disclaimer: Sorry for any English error. I've not read all the grammar already. :-)

"A Comprehensive Guide" says it all,
By Mssr. Nomdeplume (Monster Island, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cambridge Grammar of English Paperback with CD ROM: A Comprehensive Guide (Paperback)
I don't know if any customer review could do justice to this encyclopedic work. Its scope is so broad, thorough, scholarly, yet so accessible. Whenever I have a question that simply cannot be answered elsewhere, I turn to the Cambridge Grammar of English Paperback with CD ROM: A Comprehensive Guide and quickly find what I need. I was looking for the One True Grammar Book, a really authoritative tome, something academics themselves turn to for clarification--something technical but not laden with linguistics jargon, something like A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language by Quirk or The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language by Huddleston. However, I couldn't afford them. Continuing the search, I hit upon this one, and it's turned out to be an invaluable tool. It's indispensable for nonnative English speakers groping for answers to the idiosyncrasies of English, for native English speakers working on the fine points of their mother tongue, and for beleaguered instructors looking for clear explanations with which to help their students. It has satisfied the need for an authoritative guide so much so that I no longer feel that I want the other books. I like the Cambridge Grammar of English's emphasis upon the nuances of spoken English, which seem to befuddle foreign students no matter how much formal grammar they've studied. The book's focus is obviously British-centered English, but it's not all lorries and lifts; 99% of it applies to American English, too. So, if you're on a budget (or not), get this one. England has given us many good things over the years--the Beatles, Dr. Who, Monty Python, and, gratefully, now this!

Grammar in its essence,
This review is from: Cambridge Grammar of English Paperback with CD ROM: A Comprehensive Guide (Paperback)
This book was designed for more advanced students as you won't find simple explanations. It goes straight to the point in a more academic way without being too complicated. It offers the students of the english language a wider range of explanations be it written or spoken.
