This text is a compendium of information on basic grammar, punctuation and a wide variety of written forms. Adults returning to study (and general readers too) should enjoy its lucid, conversational style. The author makes no assumptions in terms of readers' prior knowledge - explanations are full, and each chapter contains an introduction and a summary. There are also exercises and many examples of students' writing. This book hopes to be an invaluable companion for the mature student, guiding them through what they need to know in order to write clear English.
