Distinction in English: Grammar Handbook

An essential grammar resource for secondary school students, this comprehensive handbook helps students to master English grammar for success in the Cambridge G.C.E. ‘N’ and ‘O’ Level Examinations. Each unit begins with an introduction of grammar items within a context familiar to students. Grammatical rules and structures are further illustrated by examples that show students the grammar item in use. Practice exercises at the end of each unit provide ample opportunities for students to revise and consolidate their understanding of the grammar skills learnt.

Grammar items have been organised according to the use of language at the word, phrase, sentence and text levels.

Key features include:

• Modular organisation that enables structure learning
• Attractive chapter openers that present grammar items in meaningful contexts
• Clear and concise explanations with adequate examples, reinforced with practices to facilitate independent learning
• Referencing across units for linking important concepts
• Additional information on grammar items and common errors students make
