Features: This book is a concise grammar tutorial specifically tailored for Chinese TOEFL candidates, rather than a simple collection of test questions. Through a summary of the author's years of TOEFL teaching experience and the study of TOEFL tests from the past 20 years, the book distills 20 essential grammar points for TOEFL that are covered in this text. Each unit begins with an explanation of the grammar concept, accompanied by example sentences, followed by a selection of typical practice questions carefully chosen from recent TOEFL tests. The answer section provides detailed explanations, aiming to help candidates generalize and apply their knowledge.
The compilers of this book studied authentic TOEFL grammar questions from 1970 to August 1990, with a focus on those from 1980 onwards. By refining the essential grammar content for TOEFL, they have summarized and categorized 20 key grammar points into 20 units. Each unit first explains the main grammar concept of that unit, supplemented by example sentences, followed by practice questions on the grammar of that unit. Most of these questions are authentic TOEFL grammar questions from 1980 onwards. After each set of practice questions, there are detailed explanations. These explanations are designed not only to provide answers but also to explain the reasoning behind each answer. This approach helps TOEFL test-takers broaden their thinking, reinforce their grammar knowledge, and ensure a high score on the TOEFL grammar section.
The writing of TOEFL Grammar Tutorial takes into account both the common weaknesses students have in grammar and the phenomena of grammar and rhetoric. The book dedicates two units specifically to the discussion and practice of word forms, word order, and parallel structures.
