| English Grammar Workbook For Dummies (For Dummies (Language & Literature)) by For Dummies Although I know English Well |
| This book helps for many of the things I may have forgotten from my school days 30yrs ago. Very helpful for young and old so if you are a student and need help this workbook is very good. |
| English Grammar Workbook For Dummies (For Dummies (Language & Literature)) by For Dummies a muddled effort at fun, accessible instruction |
| Though the sincerity and hard work of the author are evident throughout "English Grammar Workbook for Dummies," the glibness and zaniness of the book's explanations and exercises undermine its effectiveness. Like many other texts in the "...for Dummies" series, this book uses a playful voice and an excess of random, silly jokes in an attempt to make the subject matter more accessible and engaging. The result is a mostly unfunny, overlong workbook that obscures its own points with needlessly dumbed-down terminology and random attempts at humor. The hands-on learning parts of the text--the exercises--are especially problematic. Sacrificing directness and clarity for funniness and off-beat charm, the exercises are full of "problem" sentences that are so strangely constructed, it's difficult for one to know how to correct them with any precision or confidence (and the answer keys are not very reassuring). This book will be of little use to advanced English speakers/writers, and it's hard to imagine that it could give most beginners anything more than a hazy understanding of English language mechanics and grammar rules, the correct terminology for which they'll have learn later, elsewhere. |
| English Grammar Workbook For Dummies (For Dummies (Language & Literature)) by For Dummies ESL companion |
| Excellent! I use it in conjunction with English Grammar for Dummies in my ESL classes. |
| English Grammar Workbook For Dummies (For Dummies (Language & Literature)) by For Dummies $11.55 is cheap for what this book can do for you |
| I wish I had saved my English books from grammar school because it seems that English is being taught differently these days and not for the better. I am learning how much I have forgotten. |
| English Grammar Workbook For Dummies (For Dummies (Language & Literature)) by For Dummies great product |
| This is a great book with a lot of helpful exercises to make sure you've really gotten the concepts taught in each lesson. There is still a little too much emphasis on the grammar lingo but it's a lot less than most books. In my opinion, you shouldn't have to know what kind of verb it is to use it correctly. |
