Product Description

Advanced Grammar in Use contains 120 units of grammar explanation and practice exercises. It provides coverage of those language areas advanced-level students will find most rewarding to study. It retains the clarity of presentation of other books in the 'in Use' family. Two-page units present grammar explanation and examples, including typical student mistakes, on left-hand pages, and useful and varied practice on right-hand pages. Extra practice exercises at the back provide further challenging and contrastive practice of grammar points from different units. A study guide helps students find those areas most appropriate for their study. Grammar areas are cross-referenced throughout. There are useful appendices dealing with verb forms, and a glossary and all answers are given at the back.

Review
'As a matter of fact Advanced Grammar in Use is a remarkable tool (the subtitle is accurate and illustrated all through the book) especially for first-year university students. It may even become a sort of bible for all those who will clearly understand, by using the book, that grammar is not another foreign language.' IUT de Besancon

'I particularly liked the study guide, which serves a diagnostic function and points students to the units they most need to study. It is ... ideal for self-study purposes when students want to bash away at grammar problems in a familiar format.' EL Gazette

The Grammar book for the Almost Fluent Non-native Speakers
This is the book for the non-native who is already fluent in English but who still makes those small, hard-to-get-rid-of mistakes. I have been through a lot of grammar books but I was surprised that this book came up with so much information that I still wasn't aware of. Each page of grammar is followed by a page with exercises so that you get a chance to practice the rules that have just been explained. However, if the book is used for a self-study purpose, I must recommend buying the book with the answers. Only then are you sure that you really master the subject. The book is logically structured and easy to find your way in. Furthermore, the grammar rules are explained in simple and short sentences which make the contents highly digestible.
