This book deals with the construction of English from elementary to advanced level and is intended for intermediate and advanced students of English as a foreign language. Though written chiefly for adults it is suitable also for senior forms in schools. It is hoped also that teachers of English as a foreign language may find it useful as a reference book.
Special features of the book are:
1 A very comprehensive index, which should make this Grammar easy to use
as a book of reference.
2 A very careful and detailed treatment of those points which students of English
find particularly difficult, e.g. auxiliary verbs, the use of the present perfect
and simple past tenses, the difference between certain similar words such as
*during' and 'for', &c.
3 A new treatment of the future.
4 Indication where necessary of the difference between ordinary conversational usage and strict grammatical form.
5 A list of over 300 of the more important of the verb + preposition/adverb combinations (e.g. give up, take off, &c.).
6 A chapter on spelling rules.
7 The use of the simplest possible English for all explanations so as to present the minimum difficulty to students who have not yet learned to read English easily.
8 Copious examples in good modern English. Those using this Grammar as a textbook are warned that it is not a graded course, and that the chapters are not presented in order of difficulty. Difficult sections may therefore be met with in any part of the book, and intermediate students may prefer to omit these on the first reading. It is not, of course, necessary to study the chapters in the order given.
There are six booklets of exercises based on this grammar. The exercises are graded and can be had with or without key. Certain sections, e.g. the conditional, the gerund, the passive, participles and indirect speech, have been xpanded so as to present a clearer and more comprehensive picture of each structure. Various other additions have also been made which we hope will be of assistance to teachers and students using this book. The paragraph structure of the first edition has been retained as far as possible.
