ROYAL ENGLISH GRAMMAR with Complete Examples of Usage

A definitive English grammar text with three key features: expert-level detail, the clarity of a study reference, and dictionary-like ease of looking up items. The new revised edition has referenced and conducted a comparative study of the latest grammar and usage texts published in both Japan and abroad.
In addition, the revised edition makes excellent use of a corpus to elucidate the realities of the latest American and British English. The totality of contemporary English grammar is explained clearly through real-life examples. The overall structure is composed in the same approachable way as general grammar texts. Every care has been taken to achieve the objective of the ability to look up grammar items, for example by providing as many items as possible in the index.
The new revised edition has especially strengthened the commentaries on colloquial English. Moreover, 300 conversational expressions in everyday use have been carefully selected and provided with explanations regarding grammatical background and function. Example sentences have all passed a strict proofreading inspection by Professor Mark Peterson. This edition has also increased the number of Q&A columns, which give concrete explanations of items that are frequently troublesome to both learners and teachers in schools.

The JapanKnowledge edition retains the features of the printed volume, including the appendices List of Similar Examples and Punctuation Usage. It also includes five indexes, such as the Grammar Item Index and the English Word and Phrase Index. Each entry features a link to the comprehensive table of contents, making it easy to identify and jump to the desired section at a glance, for quick access.
