English grammar for students of other languages
English grammar for students of other languages

Language students can often face problems simply because they are unfamiliar with grammatical terminology in English. They may be unable to understand specific instructions and explanations in their textbooks, and they may lack the concepts that would allow them to explore the underlying structures of the target language and to discover its rules for themselves.
This series presents and explains basic grammatical concepts in English and then shows how the same concepts are treated in the foreign language: e.g. Functions of words (subjects, direct and indirect objects etc.), Grammatical terms (explanations of tense, conjugation, gender, agreement etc.).
Each chapter deals with one question, for example: "What is a Noun?", "What is the Conditional?", or "What is a Possessive Pronoun?", and answers it in simple language, with many examples, flow charts, diagrams, exercises (answer key at the back of the book) and other aids to show accurate grammatical usage in both languages.
These helpful books also include study tips for learning grammar, vocabulary and word forms in the foreign language and offer effective study techniques.
This excellent and original series caters for students of French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Latin, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic.
