Thomson and martinet's classic intermediate grammar for foreign learners is the most widely used book of its kind. It is popular because its explanations are clear and because it deals thoroughly with the topics which students find most difficult. A practical english grammar has now been revised and reissued in a fourth edition. The text has been rewritten in many places to bring it up to date. Some material has been rearranged to make it simpler for the reader to compare related topics. There is fresh or fuller treatment of many subjects, notably in the chapters on nouns. Adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, auxiliary verbs, the infinitive and the passive. A new index contains many more entries and now includes references to every important structural word. These changes make a practical english grammar easier to consult and more informative than ever. The exercises can be used with or without the grammar. They include an answer key. Features clear, concise explanations of structures. Example sentences illustrating contemporary spoken and written english. Accompanying practice material: two books of exercises.
