Grammar reference and practice in an easy-to-use format.
This new, extensively revised edition retains a clear, two-page format, with explanations of English grammar on the left, and exercises providing practice in form and use on the facing page. The grammar coverage is extremely thorough. Some additional grammar topics have been included and the treatment of others has been expanded, catering for the needs of learners at both the lower and upper ends of the intermediate spectrum. New exercises accompany the new grammar material. Many existing exercises have been rewritten to include more conversations and texts, so that the choice of form is clearly related to meaning and context. The book now includes tests. A diagnostic test at the beginning helps students decide what to study. They can then check their progress using the 25 other two-page tests throughout the book. There are now more illustrated dialogues and texts. Units begin with a picture, conversation or story to show the grammar in use. All the grammar needed for the First Certificate exam is covered. FCE-style questions are included in the tests to help learners prepare for this exam. An interactive 'test your grammar' CD-ROM is available free with the 'With Answers' edition of Oxford Practice Grammar.
