I've got used this texbook for many years now as an relief in educating English as a second/foreign language. whereas instructing EFL in Russia (see "39 Months in Siberia"), i used to be plagued with terrible textbooks - either Russian & British courses - that wanted consistent correction or explaination. After gaining knowledge of "Grammar in Use," i used to be ultimately relieved of the pain of undesirable books.
"Grammar in Use" (intermediate) can be utilized with all degrees of scholars, much less these simply starting the examine of English. it is concise and simply understood to the purpose that many scholars can apply it to their very own. The accompying pronunciation disc is finished particularly good, too.
The simply detrimental factor i will be able to locate is the part on conditional case. i've got continuously needed to supply my very own explaination of those three situations, yet after that, the e-book takes over nicely.
In a nutshell, it is the top grammar ebook i've got ever used, and that i hugely suggest it.
