This succinct and instructive summary of Japanese grammar and usage covers parts of speech, sentence structure, verb forms, and common word patterns in written and spoken Japanese. Each chapter... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This guide is packed with good fundamentals, but this can also be overwhelming. Especially with the chunky page layouts and odd spacing. Before you buy it, consider Japanese Verbs & Essentials of Grammar by Rita L. Lampkin. Both have almost the same content, with Lampkin's having slightly less perhaps, but is better laid out and organized in my opinion. Flip through and compare them to see which better suits your purpose.
