English Grammar is a concise introductory reader designed to give students a short authoritative account of the major structures of contemporary English. The descriptive approach adopted is influenced primarily by the work of Rodney Huddleston, but it also draws upon the work of Randolph Quirk et al. The book incorporates interesting and practical exercises at the end of each chapter, along with answers at the end of the text. It also contains an excellent glossary of key grammatical terms, as well as extensive references for further reading.
