This book is a valuable resource. It assists in seeing and understanding the differences between American English and British English.

The design and layout of the book makes it easy to locate specific areas of grammar.

I highly recommend this book.

I've shared bits and pieces from this book on my FB a few times and I cannot stress it enough that this book is the best and most comprehensive one to learn english. Since english is not my first language, not even second 🤣, I've been struggling to correct most of my grammatical errors over the years. I am more of a visual learner, so having this visual guide with clear, simple explanations are very helpful.

💭 This book offers innovative visual learning methods to make even the trickiest points easy to understand. Its suitable for all levels english learners because it introduces key language skills, grammar, and vocabulary, which are reinforced with a variety of speaking, reading, and writing exercises.

Definitely a 10 out of 10 recommendations! Every house should have one!

A perfectly adequate quick desk reference book that the market doesn't have yet.

Not sure what I was looking for, but this was not it.

The book is more aimed at beginners, and if you are just starting to learn the language then you’ll love it.

Four stars because it’s great for beginners. But I have been using the language for over two decades and therefore couldn’t find anything new or useful in it.


One big con though:

When talking about ordinal numbers, there’s no word about “third” or “rd” as in twenty-third, thirty-third, 23rd, 33rd.

They explain “first”, “1st”, “second”, “2nd” and so on, but there’s no indicator that 23 turns into 23rd. One could think that it’s 23th, which is obviously wrong.

Besides that, as said before, it is a great book for beginners.

Many graphics to help me to get it easily. Though there's no practice, I prefer this than other grammar book. It's well-organized. It could be a bit long for beginners, but it was nice for me to remind what I learned before. It made me start studying other English book of this publisher; Business English. I think I will look for this book again when I need a help from grammar book, I already read it twice though.

Some errors which could've been avoided and frankly I'm not sure how they got into the published book

But overall it's very good.
Love the visuals and cognitive aspect of it all.

Un libro maravilloso y fácil de comprender, me gustó mucho checar como recomienda abordar las estructuras gramaticales, siempre lleno de dibujos, colores que permiten interpretar a la perfección el sentido de las oraciones, el uso de los modos verbales, composición de nuevas frases desde los puntos básicos de la construcción del idioma inglés.

Les recomiendo el libro si desean reforzar conceptos básicos sobre la gramática, formulación de oraciones cortas, y revisión de estructura simple, muy apropiado para niveles intermedios o principiantes por la facilidad de comprensión que el libro brinda con la calidad de vocabulario y usos prácticos.

Leí en su versión digital de 362 páginas, me gustó que aclara las semejas y diferencias de usos en US y UK.
