This is one of the best self-study grammar books I've ever found。 It's extremely informative （145 lessons / units in the book！）， simple， great， useful， well-written book。 One lesson / unit takes one spread of the book: on the left page - theory， on the right page - practice。 The material is so conveniently systematized that this textbook will remain my reference book for a long time。P。S。 But no so many examples and exercises。 This is one of the best self-study grammar books I've ever found。 It's extremely informative （145 lessons / units in the book！）， simple， great， useful， well-written book。 One lesson / unit takes one spread of the book: on the left page - theory， on the right page - practice。 The material is so conveniently systematized that this textbook will remain my reference book for a long time。P。S。 But no so many examples and exercises。 。。。more

Simply the best English grammar book that I ever read in my entire life。It's extremely informative， simple， great， useful， well-written and lots of other positive adjectives。 LOLIf you know English and some grammar then it is your thing。 Don't try to read books like this if you are an amateur， because it can make you bored and maybe even mislead you in some way。 You need some basic backbone-like knowledge about English before starting something like this。I've found a lot of questions with their Simply the best English grammar book that I ever read in my entire life。It's extremely informative， simple， great， useful， well-written and lots of other positive adjectives。 LOLIf you know English and some grammar then it is your thing。 Don't try to read books like this if you are an amateur， because it can make you bored and maybe even mislead you in some way。 You need some basic backbone-like knowledge about English before starting something like this。I've found a lot of questions with their simple answers and key to those dilemmas that I had in my mind for a long time in this book and thanked Mr Raymond Murphy in my head during reading this book more than a hundred times。8。2/10 。。。more

In my opinion， this is one of the best English Grammar books for self-study。 The book is written by Raymond Murphy and published by Cambridge University Press。 Thus， its content is reliable， concise and easy to comprehend。 There are also two other books in the series for elementary and advanced learners。 Because this book is for intermediate learners， I highly recommend it to those who already have a certain knowledge of English。

This is without the slightest of a doubt for the one speaking， the book that has aided and punctually helped me to comprehend the English grammar at the point of eventually becoming an instructor and teacher of this wonderful language。 Definitely a master piece I'll always recommend to all are willing to take their linguistic wisdom to a solid level。 This is without the slightest of a doubt for the one speaking， the book that has aided and punctually helped me to comprehend the English grammar at the point of eventually becoming an instructor and teacher of this wonderful language。 Definitely a master piece I'll always recommend to all are willing to take their linguistic wisdom to a solid level。 。。。more

it is simple as it is for intermediate students。 it reminds me of the campus life since having graduated for nearly eight years。 at that time learning english is just for passing exams， and students themselves almost dislike it because of taking so many years exams。 but now after so many years work i have realised that english is the most widely used in the world， and many knowledge is written in english， so in order to gain more information， it must have been understood。also at the same time， t it is simple as it is for intermediate students。 it reminds me of the campus life since having graduated for nearly eight years。 at that time learning english is just for passing exams， and students themselves almost dislike it because of taking so many years exams。 but now after so many years work i have realised that english is the most widely used in the world， and many knowledge is written in english， so in order to gain more information， it must have been understood。also at the same time， there is no mony to invest， so the best idea is to invest yourself， waiting to have enough money。 firstly i remeber words by youdao dictionary through translating chinese。 while after a year' s effort， there is a big barrier to cross although making progress during the time。 so i try to read english information directly， but there is a lot of difficulty in understinding the meaning of complex sentence such as a sentence of two more lines in the news。 so i have to read a grammar book again。 but i think i can have a try to read english book。 during the reading， i suddenly find that understanding and translating is two different thing and translating is more difficult than understanding while my purpose is just to understand。 since then i will read english original book if the original language is english。 thank to this book， i have the faith to do it。 。。。more

My favorite English grammar reference I recommend to all。 I only preserve 'Oxford Advanced Grammar' for English language major students。 Otherwise， this book is the best reference with concise yet comprehensive coverage。 My favorite English grammar reference I recommend to all。 I only preserve 'Oxford Advanced Grammar' for English language major students。 Otherwise， this book is the best reference with concise yet comprehensive coverage。 。。。more

One of the strongest books presenting English grammar for students。 Throughout my years of study， I was never able to find a better book。 Though I studied it over 25 years ago， I still have my copy and I don't intend to give it away。 One of the strongest books presenting English grammar for students。 Throughout my years of study， I was never able to find a better book。 Though I studied it over 25 years ago， I still have my copy and I don't intend to give it away。 。。。more

It's safe to say that I'm not gonna finish this book。 However， I've flicked through and gone back to this book enough times in my years of teaching ESL because it's good！The explanations are clear and make sense。 The questions has very little to no error。 And I find that it's interesting enough that my teenage students don't mind them。 Great reference to study and exercise grammar。 It's safe to say that I'm not gonna finish this book。 However， I've flicked through and gone back to this book enough times in my years of teaching ESL because it's good！The explanations are clear and make sense。 The questions has very little to no error。 And I find that it's interesting enough that my teenage students don't mind them。 Great reference to study and exercise grammar。 。。。more

There are quite a few good grammar books available to students and teachers nowadays， but English Grammar in Use is still my favorite。 A new fifth edition was published this year， and I will continue recommend it to students。 Though it is advertised as a book for intermediate learners， I usually recommend it even to upper-intermediate and advanced students。The 145 units in the book （and related appendices and extra exercises） make it a fairly comprehensive look at English grammar。 With 34 years There are quite a few good grammar books available to students and teachers nowadays， but English Grammar in Use is still my favorite。 A new fifth edition was published this year， and I will continue recommend it to students。 Though it is advertised as a book for intermediate learners， I usually recommend it even to upper-intermediate and advanced students。The 145 units in the book （and related appendices and extra exercises） make it a fairly comprehensive look at English grammar。 With 34 years worth of revisions over the course of the book’s five editions some obvious thought has been put into how the information in the book is presented。 It is remarkably easy to follow。A moderate level of revision has occurred since the fourth edition was published in 2012。 This seems to mostly have affected the organization of the exercises in the book， but the explanatory parts have been revised to some extent as well。 On a shallower note， I’m happy to report that the illustrations in the book finally reflect a modern aesthetic – those in the fourth edition were not particularly attractive。Overall， though， the book maintains the organization used since at least the second edition （the earliest I have in my collection）。 Each unit is two facing pages long。 The left-hand page explains a specific grammar point， and the right-hand page includes exercises that students can work through。 Answers are included at the end， though Cambridge does sell a version with those omitted。 The seven appendices list verb forms， contractions， tricky spelling rules and notes about American English usage。 There is also a study guide which might help students discover specific grammar points they should focus on。Note that the units are grouped into logical chapters （present and past， modals， adjectives and adverbs， etc） rather than from “easy to difficult。” This isn’t a book that students work through from the beginning to end， but rather one where they focus on units covering their specific needs。 The study guide might help， but they really need a teacher to show them the way。 While the cover bills this as a “self-study guide，” it is better used as a supplement to classroom instruction or personal tutoring。These activities pair well with Cambridge’s companion text English Grammar in Use Supplementary Exercises。 That text was updated in 2019 to match the new edition of the main book。 Obviously， it provides additional practice which matches the units in the main book。 Keep in mind， though， that this book lumps units together， and not always in chronological order。A Note About EditionsThere is an American version of the book called Grammar in Use Intermediate 。 I always get the original English version since it is usually published first。 However， it seems that in 2018， for the first time ever， the American version was released first。 Go figure。 Note that the American version is very similar， with just a few small differences。There is also a version for Android and Apple devices， but it is based on the older fourth edition and the pricing kind of stinks – one free chapter （six units） and about $2。00 per chapter after that。 。。。more
