Grammar in Context: Students' Book

by Geoff Barton

This text allows students to see grammar in action, through a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts, including autobiography, travel writing, information texts, newspaper articles, speeches and diaries. Each section, focusing on a different aspect of grammar and language, looks at how writers have used language in order to reinforce meaning and strengthen the impact of what they write. Follow-up activities explore how to analyze real passages in terms of their language - an essential skill for National Tests, GCSE and Standard Grade - while writing prompts concentration on creating new texts. A grammar reference section gives all the nuts and bolts of English grammar for anyone who needs a quick refresher course.
