Features: English has become an international language today, and its wide range of applications is self-evident. Learning English, like learning any language, should naturally focus on imitation. However, for adults, since adults have stronger comprehension abilities and often seek to understand the reasons behind things, learning grammar is very necessary, which can yield twice the result with half the effort. The key to this book standing out among numerous similar publications lies in its strong targeting. The terminology is clear and easy to understand, the content is concise and to the point, and the exercises after each chapter help to consolidate and improve knowledge in a timely manner. These features have made the book highly favored by a broad range of English learners—especially middle school students, students of radio and television universities, night schools, and those with intermediate or advanced English proficiency. This is a newly compiled English grammar, and to better align with the actual needs of Chinese students, it adopts the traditional grammar system while also incorporating many new achievements of modern grammar. The greatest feature of this English grammar, apart from its completeness and systematicity, lies in its "newness." First, it includes several new contents; among the most notable are "negation structures." Second, there are some new arrangements, such as including the usage of "it" in the chapter on "pronouns" and the conversion of "sentence patterns" in the chapter on "types of sentences." Third, the book provides a rich variety of examples that are relatively fresh and mostly contemporary, with authentic English. However, please note that the translations of the examples in this book are only for the purpose of understanding.
