Looking for good grammar book
Hi folks,
I've lived in US a few years ago as a AFS exchange student, and while I still maintaning some good vocabulary and speech, my grammar is not doing so well.
I have a reasonable level of English and I feel frustrated going back to English classes just to learn grammar, because usually the classes given at my country usually mix speech, vocabulary and grammar in the same class (and most books follow this scheme), it's not what I need. I need something to WRITE better and comunicate in a more formal way with people...
I would like to hear about a good book that covers all the english grammar and that provides examples along with the text to exercise the rules. I do not know if there are anything specific to foreigners, but if there is something worth I am all open for advice.

Thanks Irma, I am browsing the book at amazon.com and it seems interesting (and compact also). I may buy it soon since I am waiting for the results from an UK scholarship selection comittee and if everything succeeds I will need to get a a high TOEFL score very soon to enroll a MSc program there. I have some TOEFL specific preparation material, but it does not help much on the grammar.

Now I understand. Well the book is not bad anyway but there are special CD programs to help you to prepare your TOEFL. I bought it in my local supermarket and I think it was not more

Hi Irma,
May you check the exact name on the CD case? I am looking at their catalog (http://www.macmillaneducation.com), but so far haven't found any CD related material yet.

Hi Henrique,
I was looking for any number but it doesn't have any number I can give you to buy it. I was told that this supermarket "Aldi" often has this sort of articles to study just for them. However, I looked for it in ebay.de and I got it, it is still for 1 euro, but the problem is that the seller doesn't want to deliver out of Germany.
Here you have the link, maybe if you wrote the s
