Know Your Grammar (Revised Edition)

Know Your Grammar is a concise reference guide to the main points of English grammar with review exercises. It is designed for use by students and will help them speak and write more fluently and with greater accuracy. All the essential grammatical features in the Singapore Ministry of Education's English Language Syllabus 2010 (Secondary) are covered.

There are two main parts to each of the 38 units in the book:

• explanation of a grammatical item, and
• exercises to practise or review the item.

The items are arranged in alphabetical order to provide easy access and quick reference. A Key to the Exercises is given at the end of the book to enable students to check their answers.
