About this title

From the Back Cover

STUDENT’S USAGE

'COBUILD Student’s Usage' takes a fresh look at those English language points that often cause difficulty and presents them in new and accessible ways. It has been specially designed and written for intermediate learners of English working either in the classroom or on their own.

'COBUILD Student’s Usage' contains entries on:
• Frequent words
• Words referring to similar things
• Easily confusable words
• Words that look similar in other languages, but don’t have the same meaning

Each entry contains:
• 'Definitions and explanations.' Key points are explained in a simple easy-to-understand way.
• 'Real examples.' The examples, taken from The Bank of English, show how the words are used and the contexts they are used in.

A variety of exercises gives learners the chance to develop and apply their knowledge of the language in realistic communicative context.
There is a full index and clear cross-referencing.
