NEW REVISED EDITION:
More information helpful to ESL students, more focus on selecting the right verb form, more exercises to help you fine tune each sentence. This book is a revised version of our very popular Grammar For Grownups printed in 1992. Still a complete self-study program in a handy workbook format, it provides the same practical techniques and strategies Advanced Communication designs instructors have taught to business and professional people since 1980. In only eight lessons, you’ll learn to understand the terms used to talk about writing; write complete, clear sentences; use pronouns and verbs correctly; use commas and punctuation correctly; and avoid confusing commonly confused words. It also includes a self-test so you know exactly what you to need to learn, and what you just need to review. Filled with practice exercises with immediate feedback, the book can be used for self-study or as the text for a class.
