Thank you.

  • For most students: Practical English Usage , by Michael Swan, Oxford University Press (latest edition).
  • For advanced students: A Communicative Grammar of English , by Leech & Svartvik, Longman Group.
  • A Student's Introduction to English Grammar , Huddleston & Pullum, Cambridge University Press.
  • For linguist wannabes: A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language , by Quirk, Greenbaum, Leech & Svartvik, Longman.
  • Actually, I should be recommending the newer Cambridge Grammar of the English Language , by Huddleston & Pullum, CUP, but frankly I cannot find anything in it; it is an abyss.
