Oxford English Grammar Course
- Who is this book for?
the Oxford English Grammar Course (Advanced Level) is for people who have a good knowledge
of English, but who want to speak or write more correctly, perhaps for academic or professional
purposes.
- What kind of English does the book teach?
This book teaches modern British English. lt deals with the grammar of speech and writing in
both formal and informal styles.
- How is the book organised?
There are two parts.
1.Word and sentence grammar:
Part 1 deals with the structures that are important at this level for combining words into
sentences. lt has seventeen Sections, each covering a major topic and containing:
- an introduction to the topic
- a number of one- or two-page lessons with explanations and exercises
- (in most Sections) two or three 'More Practice' pages.
2. Grammar beyond the sentence
Part 2 contains lessons on the structures that are important for writing and reading more
complex texts. Much of this material will be helpful to university students. Other lessons in
Part 2 deal with the grammar of natural informal conversation.
(Note that there is not always a clear dividing line between sentence grammar and text
grammar, so some topics appear in both Part 1 and Part 2.)
