From D G - Quebec, Canada "... actually the ESL learners are obliged to buy 3 or 4 grammar books of a suite to really learn the essence of the English language. It seems that your book is complete and this is a true ..." "... when I began my English courses I attended an online course using an intermediate Cambridge University Press Grammar book and resource from the World Wide Web. This is what led me to buy your book, because I never found out such a complete reference ..." (The above words do form a question, though it is too long, and we have selected only the most interesting aspects from it.) We worked for 4 years on LSEG, and we have referenced tens of reputable grammar books--any book we could get our hands on. Therefore, we know what is available on the market today in terms of English grammar knowledge. Logically Structured English Grammar is indeed the most complete grammar book available, because it was intentionally designed that way. Note that being "complete" is far from sufficient for a good grammar book. An English grammar book is required: 1. to be (indeed) complete; 2. to present grammatical topics logically; 3. to present grammatical mechanisms in simple structures; 4. to present grammar from two perspectives: morphology and syntax; 5. to present the "International English" (the academic version) not local, regional versions. Each element in the above vertical list is extremely important. For example, in order to implement a logic structure of the English grammar, we had to go back to the grammar taught 50 or 60 years ago. It happens that English grammar is no longer taught in schools in almost the entire English world. The English teachers today have absolutely no idea what English grammar is. Sure they do know few tricks (for example the one named "modifiers"), but that cannot help anybody understand anything. The idea is, if you want to learn English grammar, you have to spend few good years in "training courses", and you have to pay few dear thousands for that. Mastering English grammar is no joke. Well, you can also do that the easy way now with LSEG. | |||||||||||||||||||||
