Its A-Z format aims to make finding topics quick and simple, and its 20 tables help bring together related terms to show how grammar functions as a system and the examples throughout make grammatical ideas easy to grasp. A new appendix covers common problems in grammar and how to avoid them, including sections on subject-verb agreement, double negatives, problems with pronouns, punctuation, hanging participles, irregular verbs and correct verb tenses.
