This review is from: A Commonsense Guide to Grammar and Usage (Spiral-bound)
I am using this book for ENG 26 at SF City college. In class, we discussed about how easy and simple this book is. There are tips on how to do better in grammar although not all the tips are really helpful. Some students got confused in "I realized" tip. This book is good for a beginner to really understand " the signals and rules" of a good English.

This review is from: A Commonsense Guide to Grammar and Usage (Paperback)
I got this book for my girlfriend who is an ESL student. It is very clear to both native English and English as a Second Language students. There are lots of examples and lots of exercises, with answers in the back. I was surprised by the clarity and completeness of the book. I have a Masters Degree in Computer Science and have done extensive technical technical writing professionally. The book clarified some grammatical usages that I was unsure of!
Tip: Don't buy it new. Textbooks are a rip off. Save $85 and get it used.
