This book has a very traditional/prescriptive approach to grammar. That being said, I learned a great deal from it, especially as in the class that I just finished taking (Grammar for Teachers),it was combined with Engaging Grammar by Amy Benjamin and Tom Oliva, which focused on a more linguistic/descriptive approach.

"Grammar to Go" is a very clear, simply written overview of how the English language's grammar works. I intend to use this as a reference in the future.

This was a decent book for one of my English classes. I might appreciate it more now that I'm writing in the real world, but as it stands it was just a useful textbook.

For a textbook I really liked this book. It was simple to understand and gave clear examples.

I finally found a good, clear, and easy-to-follow grammar guide for my English 107 class. Now I have only to find the cheapest option.
