Features: The idiomatic expressions covered in this dictionary include the countability of nouns, the formation and usage of comparative degrees of adjectives and adverbs, transitive and intransitive verbs, common sentence patterns, meanings and usage of common idioms, special usage, subject-verb agreement, differences in British and American usage, and distinctions in English-Chinese expression methods. It also provides some hints on easily made pronunciation and spelling errors. Since there is a dedicated volume on distinguishing synonyms and near-synonyms in the entire series, this dictionary covers less content in this area.
