This is a great book with a lot of helpful exercises to make sure you've really gotten the concepts taught in each lesson. There is still a little too much emphasis on the grammar lingo but it's a lot less than most books. In my opinion, you shouldn't have to know what kind of verb it is to use it correctly.
