From a Swedish Reader on Amazon.com

For many years, I have been searching for a well-written and well-structured book on English grammar, but only in vain. None of them met my expectations. Until now! Good's book is not only well written, it is also simple, lucid, and comprehensive....

This is truly an excellent book. No other book on the market is nearly as good as this one. I strongly recommend it to all people who want to improve their grammatical skills.

Oxford English Grammar

For anyone learning English as a second language, or anyone studying it at any level, a good understanding of English Grammar is essential. Without a good foundation in the complex rules of English grammar, it is very difficult to learn the language and nearly impossible to study it at a higher level. The Grammar & Writing Guide in GrammaRight, which you can download to your computer, relies on a variety of sources, including The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style. The Oxford English Grammar Guide is one of the most definitive guides to all grammatical forms in use in the English language today, and their correct usage.

This book is an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to learn or study English. There are several mistakes that non-native speakers of English often make that can be easily avoided if the grammatical rules they were supposed to be following were known. The most glaring of these is concordance-the "agreement" between the subject and the verb, in tense and in number. A full list of concordance rules and practical applications can be found in the Grammar & Writing Guide, which cites The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style.

The Grammar & Writing Guide is more than just a list of rules and definitions. It gives you helpful examples of how to use the rules in writing and in normal speech. It is fully up to date, and all of the grammatical forms that are in the guide are their most common and widely accepted usages. Where an archaic usage is still relevant, this is noted, but the rules and definitions are all the latest that are endorsed by the The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style and the Oxford English Dictionary.

Oxford University Press has been producing quality reference books on the use of the English Language for nearly two centuries, and it is one of the world's leading producers of dictionaries. The OED, or Oxford English Dictionary, is the standard reference for English-word definitions throughout the world. The The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style companion is the perfect addition to your bookshelf and is an essential addition to the Oxford English Dictionary and Thesaurus.

If you are a second-language speaker of English, you will love the easy-to-understand definitions of rules and the clear, simple examples of how they can be used. The reputation of the Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style and the Oxford English Dictionary as stuffy references for academics that are incomprehensible to normal people is long gone. This is a user-friendly guide to English Grammar that will improve the quality of your spoken and written English. Helpful hints, rules, and exceptions throughout these books help you to easily remember which rule is applicable and where.

If you work with words or you are learning English, then the Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style and the Oxford English Dictionary are the essential companions for you. Whether you are just starting to learn the language or you already consider yourself a master at its use, you will find these books to be indispensable. You will find yourself turning back to them time and time again to look up definitions you thought you knew, simply because finding them in the OED is so simple, and it makes the rules easy to understand.

With these two works and the Grammar & Writing Guide in GrammaRight, your writing will improve immediately.
