Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
The engagingly informal style of this excellent book brings the study of English grammar alive. I particularly admire the way in which grammatical points are copiously exemplified by quotations from real language in everyday use. The text is so well structured and so clearly written that, although it would undoubtedly be a valuable adjunct to a course of lectures, it could also be used by learners studying the subject on their own. -- Professor Katharine Perera One of the few [books] able to cover a lot of ground without being too generally shallow... It is written in a clear, accessible, and reader-orientated style with just the right amount of wit to make it entertaining... the examples taken from daily speech are interesting, well know literature, such as the Lord of the Rings, further help to lower inhibitions on the parts of the students. this is a very useful, clear, accessible and interesting textbook for first-year students of English and / or linguistics... Students dealing with English on the basis of this book will not have the feeling that it is not worth the paper it is printed on; instead they will see that doing grammar can be fun. -- The Linguist List

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introducing English Grammar (Paperback)
This book is a pleasant change from all of the linguistics books out there that you need the help of a dictionary to understand.
This book is written in plain English and has sprinkles of humour thrown in to keep it enjoyable. If you want to get a good grap of English grammar, I highly recommend this book.
