Advanced Grammar in a Nutshell: All the Necessary Grammatical Rules for Academic Purposes - Paperback

by A. Mustafaoglu (Author), Robert Allens (Author)

Advanced English in a Nutshell is a short, detail free book that sheds light on the highlights and major grammatical points in a clear and effective manner. Getting lost in the endless variations of grammatical rules can be extremely distracting and most of the time disappointing. For this purpose, the book is not designed to dig deep into the limitless details of grammatical rules rather it is a kind of a review of the most necessary forms and structures that students need to use in academic tests in order to get high scores. In all tests candidates' performance is assessed according to the type of grammatical structures they are using while they are speaking or writing. The candidate who sticks to present simple and continuous forms, for instance, is not expected to get a high score in terms of structure because of the use of simple grammatical forms. Thus, it does make sense for candidates to use a variety of complex and simple structures to give the impression that they have a good command of the language.
