Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not exactly everything you need
Review: When you want to improve upon your grammar skills, the ideal book will explain the rules to you, provide you with practice problems, and then provide you with explanations of the answers. All this will help you to refine your skills with confidence.

Unfortunately, all this is not here. This workbook is designed as a textbook, so the answers are not sold with the books. If you are with an educational institution, then you may be able to get the answer key (which is not always correct). This makes it hard to verify your understanding.

This workbook does have some things going for it. Before each new set of practice exercises, there are explanations of the area in question. This is usually enough to explain the material so purchasing "The Little, Brown Handbook" is not absolutely necessary. However, there is some material, like relative clauses, which are not explained too well for understanding with confidence.

I would use this for a class if I had the accompanying textbook. I would also take note that the instructions for the exercises usually have more than one thing you need to do. But as a refresher, I would not take this without a class.
