The essentials of English grammar, with a distinctively clear organization and user-friendly languageUnderstanding English Grammar presents you with the most useful elements of both traditional and new linguistic grammar, bearing in mind that today's writers use communication tools predominantly for social purposes.

Incremental exercises provide opportunities for guided or independent practice throughout with answers at the end of the book and an updated list of further readings.
