Description
Practical English Usage provides answers to common questions about the English language for teachers, trainee teachers, and advanced-level students.
The book is divided into two parts: grammar and vocabulary. Part 1 covers all structural points that cause problems for learners in a complete practical learner's grammar with 28 sections. Part 2 offers guidance on vocabulary problems, including rules for word formation and spelling, high-priority vocabulary areas, and over 250 common word problems.
With more than 600 entries, the book addresses topics such as tense usage, conditionals, articles, singular 'they', passive auxiliary verbs, and politeness in English. It also covers British-American differences, style and idiom, changes in English, and avoiding offensive language.
