Guide to this book
Welcome. This pocket size book is a concise guide to all you need to know about English
grammar. The book is organized in 3 modular blocks.
Block 1: Beginner, letters numbers, time and parts of speech. Beginner tenses.
Block 2: Intermediate grammar and intermediate tenses.
Block 3: Advanced grammar and advanced grammar in reading and writing.
Each block is modular so you can choose to look at the tenses before finishing the grammar or
study grammar in writing before reading. However, it is recommended that you complete the
book in the order in which it is organized. After you have done this you can go back at any time
and use the book and its modular blocks as a reference resource.
The book is designed in a simple and clear way with pictures that illustrate and examples that
inform. This guide and its structure is based upon years of feedback from students. The book is
designed to resemble the best of teacher’s board work and the most comprehensive student notes.
The book is a valuable resource for the teacher and student. It can be used to teach English or as
a reference resource at any time during or after learning English.
From the author
I have worked in politics and business and taught English for many years in many countries. My
students love the way in which I organize my teaching and illustrate my board work. So, I
decided to compile it all in a concise book and here it is.
I hope you find this guide useful.
Kind regards, Innes M Robertson.
