Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Explains potentially abstract concepts in a way that students can grasp.

⭐After taking a few linguistics classes, I was getting somewhat tired of British authors of linguistics or advanced grammar books. Too many examples that do not apply to spoken culture in the states. However, this one is much better than the usual. It offers common sense explanations of complex English grammar, sticking to non-cultural specifics so that all the examples apply fully to either side of the pond. I am not a linguist, so the last half of this book gets hard for me to follow sometimes. In spite of that, I highly recommend this book for anyone who either finds advanced grammar hard to grasp, or those who have studied it longer and want to read some clear explanations of the underlying reasons for the established grammar of today. These concepts cannot be explained very simply, but Yule sure gives it a try while being thorough at the same time. This is a wonderful grammar book for college level grammar classes, and for future teachers.

⭐I’d say it’s good if you’re interested in English linguistics more than in English as a language that you’re teaching/learning pragmatically. All in all, it goes deep into some underlying aspects and whys of the behavior of the English language, and for that it’s actually great and interesting.

⭐Great book

⭐Yule’s book is concise enough as not to lose the reader in a mire of impossible jargon, but thorough enough to give readers a firm, well-rounded, and true understanding of major concepts in English grammar. The examples he offers of learner mistakes are great, and can give a brilliant context for creating lessons for students, especially nonnative speakers. As an ESL teacher, I definitely recommend this, but it’s a great resource for anyone wanting to solidify their understanding of English grammar.

⭐This book explains, to a1st language English speaker, why we speak the way we do. Further, the book is a roadmap for teaching English to ELL students.Top quality, fast delivery, great price. It is amazing how convenient it is to buy such worthwhile books, and, unlike a library book, you can keep these purchases for future reference and make notes right in your books.

⭐It’s ok. It is one of the textbooks that required from my professor.

⭐The book came exactly as described.

⭐Excellent resource for teachers and students , particularly for non English native speakers. Plenty of clear information and examples

⭐Great book!

⭐Great book for English teachers to umderstand what grammar is all about and how to teach it effectively.

⭐Really useful guide

⭐Good guidance. Good material and ideas to work with.
