Oxford Practical English Grammar is a learning book specifically written for English learners from non-English-speaking countries. The book is divided into 39 chapters, primarily organized by parts of speech, using modern and accessible English to provide a comprehensive and systematic explanation of English grammar structures and their idiomatic usage. It offers detailed and thorough explanations, especially focusing on areas that are particularly challenging for foreign learners. The book briefly explains the differences in usage between similar grammatical forms and words. Under each explanation, there are several typical examples. Additionally, the book highlights the differences between strictly grammatically correct forms and their corresponding forms in everyday conversation, with a particular emphasis on the latter. This allows learners not only to learn basic grammar rules but also to understand how native English speakers communicate in daily life. Many examples in the book are short dialogues between two people, making them vivid, concise, and practical. Since its first publication in 1960, the book has been widely welcomed by English learners and teachers around the world and has been revised and reprinted many times. This edition is the new version published by Oxford University Press, with even more improved content, suitable for intermediate and advanced English learners, as well as serving as a reference book for English teachers.
