This is a practical reference book for learners and teachers of English as a second or foreign language. Its main purpose is to provide intermediate and advanced learners with easy access to the information they need in order to correct their errors, both in system grammar and in word grammar. Special features include comprehensive coverage of all the major errors, an alphabetical arrangement combined with extensive cross-referencing for easy access, and a method of presentation that provides opportunities for active learning.
Each entry shows a common error side by side with its correction, followed by a clear simple explanation. This enables learners to identify the error, see and understand the corrected form and, as a result, improve both their spoken and written English.
This Official Guide from GMAT outshines all others, simply because the
questions are chosen from actual past tests and are very thoroughly
researched. Equally important the answer choices for each question are
also well thought out and both the correct and the incorrect choices
reflect actual test patterns. The explanations for the answers in the
Official Guide are crystal clear and very insightful.
The rules of grammar on which the GMAT Sentence Correction questions
are based are best outlined in this guide. The section on Arguments is
simply outstanding.
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.
