To the student

This book is fo r students who want help with English gra mmar, It i~ wri tten tor you to woewithout ,1 reacher,

The hoo k will be useful for yo u if you are not sure of the answers to q uest ions like these:o What is the difference between J did and I JJJI·c JOlle?o When do we use u 'ill for the futu re:o \"'hat is the structure after 1 wisb?o "" hen do we S3 }' used to do and when do we say me.' to doing:o When do we use the?o What is the difference between like and .IS:

Th ese and many other points o f English grammar are explained in the boo k and the re areexercises on each po int .

l evelTh e hook is intended mainly for intermediate students tsrudenrs wh o have alr ead y stud ied thebasic gram mar of English), It concentrates on those structures which inte rmedia te srudeo rs wantto use. bur which often cause difficuhv, Some advanced students who have prob lems withgrammar will also find the boo k useful.

Th e hook is 1101 suitable fur elementary learn ers.

How th e book is organ isedThere are 145 units in the hook . Each unit concent rates on a particula r mint of gra mmar. Someproblems (for example, the present perfect or the usc of tbl'l arc covered in mo rt' than o ne unit.For a list of units. sec the Contents at the beginning of rhe book .

Each unit con sists of two feeing pages. On rhe left there ar e explanat ion s and examples; on theright there are exercises. At the back of the rook there is a l':ey for you to check yo ur answersto the exercises (page 33 6l .

There are also seven Appendices at the back of the hook tpagcs 191- 30 1I. These includeirregula r verbs. summaries of verb forms, spelling and America n English.

Finally. there is a deta iled Index at rhe back of rhe honk tpage 3731.

How to use the bookThe units arc not in ord er of d ifficulrv, so it is /l 0 1 intended th at you wo rk th rough the bookfrom beginnin g to end. Every learner h .1S different problems and you shou ld usc th is hook TO

help rou with the gramm ar that )'011 find difficult.

It is suggested rhar you work in this way:a Use the Ccm /('lIts and/or index to find which unit deals with the point vonare interested in.a If you arc not sure which units you need to study. usc the Sf/,.i)' gll ;.I.· on page 316.o Study rhe explan anons and exa mples on the.' Iefr-h.md p.lge (If rhe unit ~'nu h.r ve chosen.a Do the exerci ses on the right -hand page.D Check you r answers with the Key,D If your answers are not correct, study the left-hand page again to see what went wrong.

You can of course usc the book simply as a reference hook without doing the exercises.


• To the teacherEnglish Grammar in Use wa s writt en as a self-stu dy gra mmar book , hut teachers may also lindit useful as additional course mat erial in cases where further work on grammar is necess<uy.

The hook will probably be most useful at midd le- and uppe r- inter mediate levels (where all o rnearly a ll of the material will be relevann. and can serve borh as a basis for revision and as ameans fo r practising new sn ucrures. Ir will also he useful fo r some more ad vanced stu dents whohave pro blems with gra mmar and need a book for reference and pr.rcric-e. The book is nor

intended to he used by elementary lea rners.

Th e units arc orga nised in grammatical catego ries lPresm r .md past, Articles .111.1 nOlllts.Prepositions ere.I. They are nor ordered according to level of difficu lty, so (he hook should norbe wor ked through fro m beginning to end. Irsbould be used selecnvelv and tle xiblv inaccordance with the gra mmar sylla bus bei ng used and the d itticulries srude nrs are ha ving.

The book ca n be used for immediate consolidat ion o r for later revisio n or remedia l work . Itmigh t be used by the whole class or by individ ual stu dents needing extra help. The lett- han dpagt"i (explanatio ns and examples) are written for the stude nt to use indi viduall y, nut they mayof cou rse be used by the teacher as a sou rce of ideas and informa tion on which to base a lesson.The student then has rhe left-hand page as a record of whar has been taught and can refer to itin the futu re, The exe rcises ca n be done individually, in clJ SS or as homework. Ahem anvelv

land additionally], individua l students can be directed to study certain units of the book b~"

themselves if the)' have particular difficulti es nor shared ll)' o ther students in their class. Don 'tforget the Additio"..,1exercises at the hack o f the nook {see To the srcden n.

An edition o f r."glish Gramma r ill Use wit hout the 10:'-')' is also available. Some reachers mayprefer this for use wit h their students,
