Ronald G. Hardie Book order

A rebranded edition of this guide to all areas of English grammar, illustrated with examples from today's language.

Examining grammar in the English language, this book is divided into sections according to part of speech, with grammatical points explained in concise language. The explanations, printed on the left of the page, are accompanied by examples of usage on the right side of the page.

This dictionary combines the successful text of the "Collins Gem Dictionary of English" with a larger format. Over 5000 words are discussed and all entries are arranged in a single A-Z listing with thorough cross-referencing. The range of topics includes particular words and specific problems that might arise. However, the coverage also extends to wider topics such as accent, use of the apostrophe and sexism in language. In addition attention is drawn to changes of usage taking place in current speech and writing.

Collins Gem English Grammar provides up-to-date and accessible guidance through the intricacies of English grammar in a format that is conveniently sized, durable, and simple to use. The book is divided into sections dealing with the different parts of speech.
