Really Simple English Grammar by Carolyn Humphries
If the best advice you can glean from some grammar books is 'Be sure that a pronoun, a participial phrase or an appositive refers clearly to the proper subject', would it help you to improve your written English? I don't think so! When you just need to know whether to use 'practice' or 'practise', you don't want to be enmeshed in past participles, pluperfects or prepositional phrases - only to find that you don't understand the definition anyway. You need an easy-to-find, straightforward explanation and a clear example so that you can get the job done. This is not a book about theory; it's about learning how to use English correctly. It will show you what to do, when and why - so you can avoid the pitfalls, improve your English and never make the same mistakes twice. You'll find everything you really need to know - and nothing you don't! This is a totally indispensable little book.
Carolyn started her career at the top working as Head Chef for a restaurant but eventually switched to journalism where, in 1977, she was able to combine her love of food with her flair for words when she became Deputy Cookery Editor for Woman magazine. Over the years she has freelanced for numerous women's, parenting, education, food and lifestyle magazines as well as for PR companies specialising in food, nutrition and health. She has written over 40 books and has taught both cookery and journalism at further education level. She has written many books for Foulsham and sold over 92,000 books in 2006 alone.
