To the student
Who the
book is for
Advanced
Grammar in Use is for advanced students of English. lt was written mainly as a
self-study book, but might also be used in class with a teacher.
How the
book is organised
There are
100 units in the book, each looking at a particular area of grammar. Some
sections within each unit focus on the particular use of a grammatical pattern,
such as will be+ -ing (as in will be travelling); others explore grammatical
contrasts, such as whether to use would or used to in reporting past events, or
when we use except or except for. The 100 units are grouped under a number of
headings such as Tenses and The future, and you can find details of this in the
Contents. Each unit consists of two pages. On the left-hand page are explanations
and examples; on the right-hand page are practice exercises. The letters next
to each exercise show you which section(s) of the left-hand page you need to
understand to do that exercise.
At the back
of the book you will find a number of further sections.
·
Appendices
(pages 202 and 204) Two appendices provide further information about irregular verbs
and passive verb forms.
·
Gossary
(page 205) Although terms to describe grammar have been kept to a mÃnimum, some
have been included, and you can find explanations of these terms in the Gossary.
·
Study
planner (page 210) You can use the Study planner to help you decide which units
you should study, or which parts of the Grammar reminder you should read first.
·
Grammar
reminder (page 222) This presents examples and explanations of areas of grammar
that
you are
likely to have studied already at earlier stages of learning English.
References on the lefthand page of each unit point you to the sections of the
Grammar reminder relevant to that unit. Read these sections to refresh your
understanding before you start work on the more advanced grammar points in the
unit.
·
Additional
exercises (page 240) lf you want further practice of grammar points, follow the
references at the bottom of the right-hand page of a unit. These will tell you
which of the Additional exercises to do next.
·
Keys
(pages 251, 277 and 278) You can check your answers to the practice exercises,
Study planner and Additional exercises in the keys. You will also find comments
on some of the answers.
·
Indexes
(pages 281 and 287) Use the Indexes to help you find the grammar or vocabulary
you need.
How to use the book
lt is not
necessary to work through the units in order. lf you know which grammar points
you have difficulty with, go straight to the units that deal with them, using
the Contents or Indexes to help you find the relevant unit. When you have found
a unit to study, read through any related material in the Grammar reminder
before you begin.
You can use
the units in a number of ways. You might study the explanations and examples
first, do the exercises on the opposite page, check your answers in the Key to
Exercises, and then look again at the explanations if you made any mistakes. lf
you just want to practise an area of grammar you think you already know, you
could do the exercises first and then study the explanations for any you got
wrong. You might of course simply use the book as a reference book without
doing the exercises.
Corpus information
A corpus is
a large collection of texts stored on a computer. In writing Advanced Grammar
in Use
we have
worked with the Cambridge lnternational Corpus {CIC), a multi-million word
collection of real speech and writing, and the Cambridge Learner Corpus, a
collection of exam answers written by students. From these corpora we can learn
more about language in use, and about the common errors made by learners. Using
this information, we can be sure that the grammar explanations and examples in
the book reflect real language, and we can focus on problem areas for learners.
We have also used the CIC to produce word boxes, listing the most common words
found in particular grammar patterns.
