Παρουσίαση
Usage guides deal with problem points: words and structures that people have difficulty with, or disagree about.English, like all languages, is full of problems for the foreign learner. Some of these points are easy to explain - for instance, the formation of questions, the difference between "since" and "for", or the meaning of "after all". Other problems are more tricky, and cause difficulty even for advanced students and teachers. How exactly is the present perfect used? When do we use past tenses to be polite? What are the differences between "at", "on" and "in" with expressions of place? We can say "a chair leg" - why not "a cat leg"? When can we use the expression "do so"? When is "the" used with superlatives? Is "unless" the same as "if not"? What are the differences between "come" and "go", between "each" and "every", between "big", "large" and "great", or between "fairly", "quite", "rather" and "pretty"? Is it correct to say "There's three more bottles in the fridge"? How do you actually say "3x4=12"? And so on, and so on.
"Practical English Usage" is a guide to problems of this kind. It deals with over 1,000 points which regularly cause difficulty to foreign students of English. It will be useful, for example, to a learner who is not sure how to use a particular structure, or who has made a mistake and wants to find out why it is wrong. It will also be helpful to a teacher who is looking for a clear explanation of a difficult language point. There is very full coverage of grammar, as well as explanations of a large number of common vocabulary problems. There are also some entries designed to clarify more general questions (e.g. formality, slang, the nature of standard English and dialects) which students and teachers may find themselves concerned with.
Problems are mostly explained in short separate entries. This makes it possible to give a clear complete treatment of each point, and enables the user to concentrate just on the question that he or she needs information about. In longer entries, basic information is generally given first, followed by more detailed explanations and discussion of more advanced points. (From the publisher)
