"Sheila Zamar's Filipino: An Essential Grammar responds to frequently asked questions about Filipino grammar through clear and thorough explanations, illustrative examples, and illuminating clarifications, making it a must-read for language learners. Moreover, it brings the language to the present, by recognizing that Filipino, the national language of the Philippines, although primarily based on Tagalog, has evolved. This book stands out as an essential contemporary resource in both teaching and learning."

"This is an exciting and long-awaited grammar, produced by a highly talented linguist and language instructor with over thirty years of experience teaching Filipino.
