5.0 out of 5 stars The contrast illuminates both languages., March 5, 2001

This review is from: English Grammar for Students of German: The Study Guide for Those Learning German (Paperback)

English Grammar for Students is a fascinating book. It compares and contrasts English and German grammar, point by point, making it easier to understand the grammar of each language.

Reading this book, you'll end with a deeper knowledge of such things as nouns, gender, number, articles, case, verbs, subjects and objects. You'll also learn more about predicate nouns, promouns, personal pronouns, parts of verbs, infinitives, verb conjugation, tenses and much, much more.

The structure of both languages will pop out at you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for people learning German basics., July 6, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: English Grammar for Students of German: The Study Guide for Those Learning German (Paperback)

It has been said, that when people are learning a new language, they find out many things about their own language. The author(s) of this book take this frame of mind into account. Right from the beginning of the book they guide you from basic grammar to more complex structures, always explaining how these structures are used in German and English. I was able to borrow this book from my Germany teacher, so I am unable (leider) now to list some of the terms that are discussed in this book, but please take my word that this book is worth it. In Fact, I am going to buy it right now in preparation for my trip to Germany.

This review is from: English Grammar for Students of German (Paperback)

I took German in college in 1979, so when I started a refresher German course earlier this year, I picked this up in a college bookstore. Wow, what a life saver! Since I did not have sentence diagramming in grade school, my language skills have always been intuitive, with this book it's all laid out neatly and easily in front of you. EGFSG cleared up many questions that I had regarding clauses, objects of a preposition, etc.

Sit down for an hour or two and read the short concise chapters, it's an amazing little book. It even helps your English day to day.
