Description
This comprehensive Portuguese grammar guide is designed for adults with limited learning time, focusing on simple, everyday communication. The author presents the most important points of Portuguese grammar in a clear and concise manner, using practical examples and phrases to illustrate key concepts.
Key aspects of Portuguese grammar are presented in a logical order, drawing comparisons with English construction where relevant. The book assumes no prior knowledge of Portuguese grammar or grammatical terms, providing a clear definition of all relevant terms in one section. This grammar offers time-saving shortcuts and can be used as a standalone resource or as a supplement to a phrase book or record course.
Additional features include four appendices covering regular conjugations, orthographic-changing verbs, and irregular verbs, as well as a glossary of grammatical terms and an index for easy reference.
