Second Edition
This updated practical guide and reference handbook will help you improve your command of English in everyday life and deepen your appreciation of the written language.
The book first provides useful summaries of the main rules of grammar and punctuation. It then examines some of the more common errors in spoken and written English, before giving practical advice on spelling and helpful definitions of words which are frequently confused and misused.
The second half of the book focuses on the correct and effective use of English in a wide variety of contexts, and illustrates the different types of language and style, which contribute to the subtlety and variety of English expression. A particularly useful feature of the book is an extensive guide to the conventions of written English in everyday life, including business and commercial English, letters, reports, summaries and English for examinations.
