Oxford Practical English Usage | Fully Revised International Edition by Michael Swan

The best book in the world for English usage as of now, advanced, comprehensive, accurate and most modern published by one of the best universities in the world.

Really awesome grammar book . Written by a great scholar. I have no words. It's just an unbelievable compilation.

Revised International edition of Practical English Usage by Michael Swan is a practical grammar book, almost like personal notes being taken. I go back to the chapters, time and again, mainly to clarify my doubts pertaining to deviations and exceptions from the broad general rules of English grammar. I’ve liked the format in which it’s presented. Highly recommended for non-natives like me. Thanks

Worst Package by Seller

Good book for learner

Best for advanced level students

The book is quite helpful. But it was slightly damaged by mispackaging... It was packed only with a thin envelope-bag, somebody must have thrown it randomly. One corner of the binding has got flaten.

cleverable book.It has all types of grammars and very cleanly described each and every detail.very nice book.go for it beginners.

Das Buch war nötig für mein Studium, und hat mich äußerst positiv überrascht. Michael Swan nimmt sich hier diverser Problemfelder des Englischen an, und erklärt auf einfachste Weise selbst die schwierigsten Regeln (und Nicht-Regeln) aus allen möglichen Bereichen, und das ganz ohne unnötiges Fachchinesisch. Hier wird immer klar, dass das Ziel wirklich die Anwendung in der Praxis ist. Noch dazu ist das Buch wunderbar logisch aufgebaut, und funktioniert prima als Nachschlagewerk, speziell wenn mal mal nicht weiß, warum eine Regel so ist, wie sie ist. Eine Art Wörterbuch für sprachliche Regeln, sozusagen. Jedem Anglistikstudierenden würde ich das Buch wärmstens empfehlen, selbst wenn die jeweilige Universität das Buch nicht vorschreibt. Aber auch jedem Pädagogen, Nachhilfelehrer, oder Menschen der sonstwie im Alltag mit Englisch zu tun hat, würde ich stets zu "Practical English Usage" raten.

Muito bom

Viene spesso indicato tra i migliori libri per chi studia o insegna l'inglese. È facile capire perché: copre tutti gli argomenti della grammatica inglese, con capitoli sintetici ma esaustivi, fornendo ottimi esempi di frasi che aiutano a comprendere il tema.A mio avviso è un libro da consultazione, da avere a portata di mano quando si hanno dubbi. Per questo è particolarmente indicato per chi ha già una sufficiente conoscenza dell'inglese e lo usa magari in contesti lavorativi o perché magari cura degli scritti in inglese o perché si trova in situazioni in cui è necessario esprimersi frequentemente in tale lingua.NON è un libro per chi deve iniziare da zero e cerca magari una grammatica strutturata che parta dalle basi per poi progredire gradualmente.Feedback positivo anche per il venditore Galleriadellibro da cui l'ho preso usato a meno della metà del prezzo nuovo, in buonissime condizioni.

It's the perfect ESL reference book I've ever purchased. Worth its' weight in gold;

The British Council recommended this book (along with a few others) as a helpful resource for the CELTA course, so I purchased it and one other textbook. And honestly, this book is so much better! It surpassed my expectations. It is compact, yet helpful and full of useful information that otherwise would have been a pain to Google search for. There’s a helpful index at the back of the book, which I am making extensive use of for my pre-course task. Not to mention, the language is clear and concise. This is exactly what I needed.With all of that said, this is more of a reference for learning new information. This is NOT the book for you if all you’re looking for is some practice exercises, there aren’t any in this book.
