A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Practical English Usage is a dictionary of problem points in the language for foreign learners and their teachers. It answers the learner's question, 'Is this right or wrong, and why?' and the teacher's question, 'How can I explain this to my classes?'. It gives information and advice that is practical, clear, reliable and easy to find. Most of the book is about grammar, but it also covers selected points of vocabulary, idiom, style, pronunciation and spelling.

For this new edition the text has been thoroughly revised and brought up to date. It is now even more informative, better organised and more clearly presented. Many entries are fuller, and fresh ones have been added. Many explanations and examples have been improved or rewritten.

Practical English Usage includes:

over 600 concise, authoritative entries

numerous examples of natural spoken and written British English

examples of common mistakes

illustrations of stylistic differences

illustrations of differences between British and American usage

cross-references between related entries

a glossary of language terminology

a very full index

Présentation de l'éditeur :
