Fundamentals of English grammar is a developmental skills text for lower-intermediate and intermediate students of English as a second or foreign language. It combines clear and understandable grammar information with a variety of exercises and activities.
Fundamentals of English is the second in a series of three texts: Basic English Grammar (red cover), Fundamentals of English Grammar (black cover), and Understanding and Using English Grammar (blue cover).
The principal aims of all three texts in this series are to present clear, cogent information about English grammar and usage, to provide extensive and varied practice that encourages growth in all areas of language use, and to be interesting, useful, and fun for student and teacher alike. The approach is eclectic, with the texts seeking to balance form-focused language-learning activities with abundant opportunities for and purposeful communicative interaction.
