Features: 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. It provides a comprehensive and systematic explanation of English grammar structures and their idiomatic usage in easy-to-understand modern English. Especially for areas that foreign learners often find difficult, it offers detailed and thorough explanations. For many grammar forms and words with similar meanings, it briefly clarifies differences in usage. Under each explanation, there are several typical example sentences. Additionally, the book points out the differences between strictly grammatically correct forms and corresponding forms used in everyday conversations, with a focus on the latter. This allows learners not only to learn basic grammar rules from the book but also to understand how people in English-speaking countries speak in daily life. Many of the example sentences 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. The current edition is the new version released by Oxford University Press, with improved content and suitable for intermediate and advanced English learners, as well as serving as a reference book for English teachers.
