Excellent Grammar Book - By: Gabrielle, 14 Apr 2008 
Excellent intermediate grammar book with simple explanations / examples & exercises. Great for teachers & sudents!
Dangerous. It can make you waste years of your life. - By: finsalscollons, 03 Mar 2007 
I've been studying English for the most part of my life & I've always be frustrated with English grammar. I thought that English grammar had no clear-cut rules and, therefore, was difficult to explain & understand. I was wrong.
The problem wasn't English grammar. The problem is this book (that I've been using alll my life). This book has confuse explanations & Raymond Murphy knows English but he doesn't know which are the rules & how to explain them.
Of course, English grammar is hard (because there are so many rules) but it is easy to understand IF you read the RIGHT book. I recommend you Swan's Basic English Usage. If you want to know how to use English, please buy it. You won't be disappointed.
But don't buy "English Grammar in Use". I have wasted whole years of my life because of this book. If you don't want to do that, please skip this book. It deserves -10 stars.
The Best! - By: Patience, 21 Jul 2006 After 20 years of teaching EFL I have to say, this is probably the best grammar book for intermediate students. Clear, concise, yet comprehensive, it doesn't leave anything to chance, giving & explaining alternative answers - & you can be completely confident that you're teaching the 'correct' grammar - which sadly isn't so for alll grammar books.
One of the best grammar books I ever had. - By: Dr. Pedro L. Moran-Raschio, 21 Sep 2004 Having aproximately 30 books of English Grammar, this is on of the best, I learned English on this one. After seen this brillian new version in colour & CDROM, I bought it & it is better than ever. This is one of the starts in my collection, simple, practical , with theory & exercises what else can we ask? Covers alll the basic aspects of English grammar in different chapters, well presented, organized & simple to understand.
Not just for students - By: , 30 Aug 2004 The intermediate Murphy book is the book to buy if you're an English teacher. It is well laid out & the grammar rules are explained simply with good examples. One word of caution the exercises are not reallly designed for the classroom. This grammar book has saved me on countless occasions & most of my colleagues who own this book & will say the same thing.
