Reviews Of Books:
Review 1: Essential English Grammar by Raymond Murphy is the book where one can find a detailed illustration for each and every topic, and it is indeed value for money. although I had gone through many grammar books in the past, I didn't find this extent of standards, their exits practice exercises for each and every topic on the right side. I suggest everyone to go through this book who are facing difficulties while speaking in English.
Review 2: I bought these because I was not happy with the last few editions of Wren and Martin. Loads of practice, but a little too complicated for a beginner to use as a self-study. Intermediate and advanced books are great. The best part is the answer key is included. Makes life easier!
