Praise for Refreshing Grammar

Very simply the most useful book about grammar that you'll ever read. A thoughtful, easy to read, step-by-step guide to grammatically analysing text.

A must for English teachers, especially those teaching A Level English Language.

Refreshing Grammar is a godsend (isn't it?).

Perfect for A Level English Language teachers

As a teacher of English at GCSE and A Level (English Language) I have often wished for an accessible and simple way to get students to write about complex technical stuff. In this book, I've found it!

It's brilliant.

Very highly recommended.

Brilliant, by a fantastic author.

Everyone who is interested in English should buy this book. It is very informative. It is also written by the most lovely author ever! Fantastic tutor too. She really knows her stuff and passes on her knowledge in her humorous ways.

Look for the auxiliary in the question tag!

Inspiring and Useful
