Testing Your Grammar provides the most comprehensive review of the grammatical structures of English and is excellent practice for students taking English language proficiency exams. Testing Your Grammar covers all of the major aspects of English grammar -- count and non-count nouns, agreements, verb tense, modals, comparisons, complex cause structures -- that ESL students need to manage in order to improve their English. With all units enlarged or significantly modified, the new and improved edition of Testing Your Grammar features reworked grammatical explanations and more example sentences so grammar points are easier to understand. Other features of the new edition: Explanations have been added to the answer key.A review test is found at the end of every two units.At the end of the book are four examinations that can be used for either pre-testing or post-testing.
I found that the workbook is very helpful in brushing up on grammar for new students, but unit (or chapter) 4 is a lesson on using the passive voice, which I find is unnecessary and useless. In writing one is encouraged to use the active voice. The use of the active voice is made clear in William Strunk's Elements of Style.
