This the first grammar book I extensively studied. I exhausted every single chapter more than thrice. Along with its exercise books 1 & 2, they make good companions to English learners.
Though a bit old now, this guide to English grammar still does it well. I recommended it to my students.
As I am writing this review, a strange sense of nostalgia takes me back to the numerous nights I spent enjoying reading the examples this book offers.

It looks dull, doesn't it? But, the thing is, it's really good, although it will be too much if you are looking for a basic grammar book, as this one is more focused on advanced learners.

This was my rescue when i used to learn English in an academic way. It was a suggestion of an English teacher which i found her at the library she said that this book is good for beginners in learning this language. Still have it till now and i'm thinking seriously about refreshing my english skills. It has Grammar Lessons and tasks.

I'd suggest this book for anyone who's starting out and wants a hands-on understanding of the basics like the tense and syntax to form a proper sentence and lay down the path to eloquent writing.

Unique, informative, useful and well-written. This book takes a different approach than many of the English grammar books in the market. It stresses on practical use cases, good English construction, is comprehensive and spans various topics yet manages to remain brief and concise.

Useful for a second opinion, especially if I am not too fond of Messrs. Swan and Parrott's explanation of an obscure grammar rule.

Great book for anyone interested in the English grammar (both foreign and native speakers). Covers pretty much every major topic.
