Essential Grammar in Use With Answers : A Self-Study Reference and Practice Book for Elementary Students of English

Rating:
Summary: An excellent additional resource for beginners
Review: Finding straight grammar practice for beginners can be a challenge. Most books, it seems, are written for the lower-intermediate level and above.

This book is an exception.

It provides essential practice with forms as well as use. In other words, it separates form from function, giving students a chance simply to practice creating, say, present perfect, and then providing practice in differentiating between present perfect and past simple.

Together with the supplemental exercise book, you should have plenty of resources for your beginning students of English.

Summary: Great book for teachers
Review: I teach business English in China. Murphey's book is a great tool for teachers. I especially like the diagnostic tests in the back of the book. You can use these to determine what exactly your student needs. Then you can just give the student the exact lessons the student needs. The lessons are laid out so there is one lesson on a page and a quiz on the opposite page. Excellent tool and a must have for teachers.
