Description

The Grammar Guide is written for bilingual and second-language English students (including Generation 1.5) who already know a lot of English but may not have studied much grammar and haven't felt confident in a grammar class. This is an advanced grammar textbook that explains some of the more difficult but important aspects of grammar to help students in colleges and universities succeed in their academic work. Among the grammar points taught are modals, tenses, passive voice, articles, subject-verb agreement, modifiers and comparisons, gerunds and infinitives, adverb clauses, adjective clauses, the subjunctive, conditionals, and participial phrases. The Grammar Guide also develops writing skills through a focus on grammar and vocabulary, increases academic vocabulary using the 800+ words that most frequently appear in academic writing (the Academic Word List), and stresses collocations, word parts, and forms.
