Features: "Grammar for New Thinking" proposes that grammar is not a "dead" set of sentence-making rules, but a "living" form of linguistic thinking. "Grammar for New Thinking" not only teaches you "what" the rules are but also reveals "why" they exist. Thus, you not only master the rules but also develop an English way of thinking. Zhang Mansheng, founder of English grammar training at New Oriental School, has been engaged in English translation and teaching for many years. Through long-term English practice, he has broken through traditional grammar teaching and proposed a brand-new grammar concept—"Grammar is Thinking." This allows learning grammar to no longer be about memorizing "dead" rules but about cultivating a "living" English mindset. He has written the book "Grammar for New Thinking in English," which ranked second in the national foreign language bestseller list of the "21st Century English News" in 2000. The series of grammar (monographs) currently launched, including "Approaching Grammar in English Grammar for New Thinking," "Understanding Grammar in English Grammar for New Thinking," and "Mastering Grammar in English Grammar for New Thinking," are the fruits of his decade-long dedicated research.
