Grammar makes a lasting impression on friends, co-workers, and teachers, but learning the rules has always been boring. That's why the folks at The Princeton Review created Grammar Smart. Grammar Smart uses a witty, irreverent approach to help individuals write and speak with greater clarity and confidence. Instead of boring readers with countless rules and confusing grammatical terms, The Princeton Review shows them the logic behind each correct sentence. Everything in Grammar Smart is nuts-and-bolts English designed to help readers express themselves more clearly. They'll learn how to choose between "that" and "which" and when to use "as" instead of "like," and they'll know for sure if this is between "you and me" or "you and I." Includes: • The basic parts of speech -- nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. • Pronoun-verb agreement and parallel construction • Tips on how to avoid misplaced modifiers and dangling participles • Lively, humorous examples to illustrate meanings • Brief question-and-answer reviews Average Rating:

This book attempts to take a fun (well, not-so-boring) approach to explain it all... And for the most part it does well. It's concise, and the examples are good. Where things fall apart is when the book refers to parts of grammar that haven't been explained yet. For example, starting with Quick Quiz #8 (page 25), the reader is asked to identify prepositional phrases, but phrases and clauses ... Read More Rating: - EXCELLENTThis is book is great. It is well organized, complete, and simply written. The exercises provide great practice. It also highlights common grammatical mistakes that always show up on examinations. You can read this book in one day and understand what you've read. Rating: - GRAMMAR FOR VERBAL TESTITS A GREAT BOOK FOR VERBAL TESTS LIKE GMAT BUT ITS NOT FOR IN DEPTH LEARNING ENGLISH
