1 Basic English Grammar remains a developmental skills text for students of English as a
second or foreign language. Serving as both a reference and a workbook, it inaoduces
students to the form, meaning, and usage of basic structures in English. It provides ample
opportunities for practice through extensive and varied exercises leading to
communicative activities. Although it focuses on grammar, it promotes the development
of all language skills.
This second edition has a greatly expanded range of contents to provide a solid core
of basic English grammar for lower-level or beginning students. It includes numerous
new exercises with, at the end of each chapter, cumulative review exercises that include
additional communicative and interactive student-centered tasks.
Also available are an Answer Key, with answers only, and a Teacher's Guide, with
teaching suggestions as well as the answers to the exercises.
