Summary: Thin Volume Fills Gaps
Comment: Though not as extensive - or as scholarly - as Merriam Webster's "English Usage Dictionary," this little book has often helped me explain thorny contemporary usage problems to my advanced ESL students. For example, a student came to me with the lyrics "Hadn't a been for..." and asked me to explain the usage of "hadn't have." None of my other books addressed this issue. (If you're not sure, see page 39.)

Rating: 4
Summary: Good grammer book
Comment: This is a good grammer book for anyone who like to read or write in english. There are rules which should be followed. However, this one don't work good for students.
