The units cover the main areas of Turkish grammar. The explanations are on the left-hand page, and the exercises are on the right-hand page.

If you are already familiar with the language, you can choose relevant units. There is a detailed contents section to help you do so easily.To ensure the newly-presented grammar topic is ingrained in your mind, you are encouraged to do the exercises on the right-hand page. As there are plenty of example sentences and dialogues in both pages of the unit, you can also come up with your own dialogues and practice conversations.Turkish Grammar in Practice will also be a useful supplementary book for teachers. If you are already using a course book, present the grammar explanation on the left-hand page, then ask students to read the example sentences. Also, if there is a conversation, ask two students to read it aloud.
