Our guiding light for questions 9-13 for the state exam (:

[Craig Campbell · Rating 1 out of 5]

Awful. This book is literally filled with errors: errors in explanations, typographical errors and some seconds are even cut short with poor editing decisions. This book is an insult to students. It is a waste of money and paper.

Even if it wasn't was I was searching for, it was interesting and clear.

Anche se non era il tipo di grammatica che stavo cercando, é stata chiara ed interessante.
