- the basics of English grammar - how sentences are structured
- help with spelling and punctuation
- tips on avoiding the most common mistakes and pitfalls
- advice on how students can improve their writing in essays, reports and projects.
The book is packed with examples to illustrate points and highlight good and bad practice, and contains handy tips and student exercises.

Practical and easy quick reference guide. Terms are clearly explained often with examples. Although the basics of grammar this guide would be suitable for all advanced levels of study as a reference and to the point grammar guide for any student. The exercises are great for checking what you have just learnt and could also be used as a class task especially if a group is having a similar grammar problem.
