INGLESE Grammatica essenziale

Content

A practical English-grammar handbook for easy reference, designed for students (from beginner level and up) but also useful to all those who feel the need for a simple and concise theoretical tool to coach them in their learning of English as a foreign language.

By structuring the topics in outline form, this volume enables the reader to delve into an issue or home in on an item of doubt, thus becoming a simple and precise ‘linguistic roadmap.’

Its analysis of the major forms and structures of English pays careful attention to the hurdles likely to face an Italian learner.

Each topic outline deals with a single issue or grammatical rule, which is then explained with examples taken from the living language. 

Common pitfalls and recurring uncertainties are the subject of closer focus. 

Sidebars offer notes on pronunciation, the history of the language, and illustrated idioms to ease understanding and aid memory.
