I turn to Grammar for Dummies for a concise, easy-to-understand definition of any given part of speech, as well as for any usage questions/doubts I am having. I have found this book to be an extremely helpful reference for my adolescent language development grad class.

This is a book that covers all those "little problem" areas in grammar. From when to use a semicolon to dealing with irregular plural possessives, this book is a must-have for anyone in need of grammar-help.

I highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of buying it!

I am a writer, and while my first novel was edited by others, I'd like to try editing my next one without an intitial edit job...this book is my only hope! :-)(...)

5 out of 5 stars Invaluable reference for english students   September 1, 2006

A career change forced me to return to college. After almost 10 years since graduating from high school, I forgot a lot of the rules about English writing. English Grammar for Dummies helped to refresh my memory, as well teach me a few things that I did not learn from my high school english teacher. I was able to pass English 101 with an A (not as easy as it sounds when your instructor is published author and PhD in literature). I am taking English 102 this semester and will continue to refer to the Dummies book as frequently as the class text. I recommend this book for any student, or anyone who does formal writing on a regular basis.
