Phrases such as "go with the flow" and "hang around" are easy as pie
with this fun and memorable guide to idioms for English-language
students. Often a difficult aspect to master in a nonnative language,
expressions that cannot be deduced from their individual words become
fun to learn with the included word games, quizzes, and puzzles.
There is a big difference between understanding the grammar
of a language and being able to speak that language well. You don’t need to
understand how a car engine works in order to drive a car.And you don’t need to
understand grammar to speak a language.
Knowing grammar will, however, perhaps give you more
confidence to speak, as you will be less afraid of making mistakes. Almost
every grammar rule has an exception, so the best way to improve your English is
to practise as much as you can.
In this humorous and educational book, Dennis Baron—a.k.a. Dr. Grammar—answers the questions that he is most frequently asked about what is right and what is wrong with English. His answers will convince you that English is as lively and elastic as ever and that reading about language can delight as well as instruct. This book won't tell you whether to use that or which, but after reading it, you won't want to know that anyway. Instead, it addresses timely topics: Is there a language police? Is there a politically correct term for the president's spouse? Can a doll write like a person? Is "Make my day" a clichй?
