Oxford A-Z of Grammar and Punctuation

Mein Dozent hat dieses Werk empfohlen und es ist wirklich hilfreich. Bei dem Umfang gibt es natürlich nicht für jede Ausnahme eine Erklärung, aber um ein grundlegendes Verständnis zu diversen grammatikalischen Themen zu erlangen, ist dieses Büchlein wirklich hilfreich.

Nothing to dislike. However, it’s very detailed and might be more for an aspiring writer.

Great book.

An excellent pocketbook.

There's quite a lot of information packed onto 188 small pages. Density has had priority over clarity in the page layouts. The A-Z format means a lot of to-ing and fro-ing.Useful for intelligent parents of schoolchildren and a pleasure to pick up for a few minutes at a time.There are some surprising omissions (nothing on the use of 'whether' for example), a few misjudgments (mood - subjunctive - 'This is rarely used and only in formal written language.' - Really?), and very occasional and unworthy lapses where the author seems to have a bee in his bonnet (the entry for 'none are/none is' for example).
