About the book

Cambridge Grammar of English is a 'must-have' for any serious learner or user of the English language. Using ground-breaking language research, it offers clear explanations of spoken and written English based on real everyday usage.

A clear two-part structure makes the book particularly user-friendly. In the first section, 'From word to grammar: an A-Z', A-Z entries give special attention to the vocabulary-related grammar often neglected in other grammar reference books. The second section is organised into topic chapters covering the more traditional grammatical categories such as tense, sentence structure and parts of speech.
