Grammar, the structure of a language, is often the subject of confusion. «The Bloomsbury Grammar Guide» is an easy-to-use handbook which provides the answers. Updated and revised throughout, the new edition is essential reading for all writers and readers of our increasingly dynamic and global language. It contains: words, phrases, sentences and clauses; punctuation — where and how to use everything from the colon to the slash; figures of speech and literary devices; and, common errors — an A-Z list of easily confused words.
