"The variety and the thematic content of the exercises keeps students alert, even though they often feel rebellious about learning grammar"
This classic undergraduate text has been updated with a substantial number of new exercises, help with adjectives and adverbs for those who do not know if they have done good or well, new reading texts and sincere advice on using commas correctly, such as has been done here.
