Book Reviews of Essential English Grammar (Dover Language Guides Essential Grammar)
Book Review: Awesome, Excellent, Incredible Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. It gives so many examples. It's almost like sitting in a classroom with a "real" teacher. Most books leave you with questions because there isn't a teacher available to help you when you "get stuck". This book comes with the teacher!! It's excellent. I highly recommend it.
P.S. (I am an elementary teacher, and I am studying for the high school English certification exam. This book was all I needed to completely brush up my grammar skills. All I can say is that anyone can follow it, and it gives you a thorough grasp on English grammar.)
Book Review: Just right!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read upto page 42 out of total 147 pages (excluding answers to Practice Exercises). I like the book very much and I find it easy to read, logically organised and the coverage and approach is just right! Besides, the book is handy to carry around (smaller than A4 size and not thicker than 200 pages - this is important for non full-time students). Moreover, the practice exercises are realistic enough to test your understanding of what you've read. I highly recommend this book to students, adult learners and really anyone who would like to review ESSENTIAL grammar.Book Review: A Wonderful Book for Students and EFL/ESL teachers !
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably one of the best books you can find in order to refresh your syntax. Clear, effective and concise, it's a real treasure in my library (a great neighbor to more expensive relatives: Marianne Celce-Murcia 'Grammar Book' and Thomson & Martinet 'Practical English Grammar'). I could never do without it. The exercises at the end of each chapter are of great value, both for the reader and for teaching in class. This book is a MUST, you can get it almost free, pls enjoy !Book Review: Great resource!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently needed to take my teacher certification test and was concerned about remembering all of the essentials related to English grammer. This book did put my mind at ease because it not only provides a basic definition for each grammer term but it also provides several sentence examples. I will definitely use this book as a reference when I begin teaching middle school.
Book Review: Good for review before examination
Summary: 5 Stars
Just look at the age of this book. First published in 1966 and it is still in printing. It can't be an average textbook. It is an excellent book. It covers essential English grammar in merely 170 pages of A5 size paper in clear and concise manner and it has full answers to all practice exercises. Very good for quick review of grammar basics before examination.
