The Oxford Guide To English Grammar specifically deals with British
English, its correct usage and a systematic account of the grammatical
forms used in standard British English format. This book which provides a
broad set of details, is meant for intermediate and expert levels of
learning.
Each chapter in this book starts with a simple, easy to
grasp summary which forms a background for the latter material to
follow. A wide range of grammatical nuances are provided as grammatical
units, word classes, phrases and sentence elements. Since there is a
rise in the use of informal language, the book also covers the
acceptability and non-acceptability of informal language. Though this
book focuses mainly on British English, it also covers the difference
between American and British English.
