The Oxford Pocket English Grammar is for the learner who has used or studied English for some time but wants to know more about its grammar. The book explains all the main structures in simple language and shows how they are used. It deals clearly with the more difficult points. There is a full index at the end, and a glossary of grammatical words on pages viii–x.

Exercises follow many of the sections. These are useful for checking that the section has been understood. They are easy and can be done quickly. The answers are on pages 275–298.

In the examples of spoken English and in the exercises, the sign ‘~’ means that there is a change of speaker.
