Recommendation-New Thinking of English Grammar
Recently, I am reading a book called New Thinking of English Grammar. The writer is Zhang Mansheng, a master of English at Cambridge University.

The book is divided into three volumes: elementary, intermediate and advanced. Unlike traditional grammar books, they are basically boring and unintelligible. His speech is very contemporary and easy to understand, so it is easy to remember for a long time. In addition, the example materials in the book are closely related to the postgraduate entrance examination, and the long and difficult sentences in postgraduate entrance examination English are naturally good materials for grammar, which provides a good room for learners with weak English foundation. Many traditional grammar books are basically killed by this book.

This book follows two main lines: clauses and verbs.

Clauses include: adjective clauses, adverb clauses and noun clauses; Verb content includes: verb tense, infinitive, gerund, participle and subjunctive mood. In addition, the rules related to sentence construction include subject-predicate agreement and verb inversion. Secondly, from the expression of specific grammatical content, novelty and originality run through the book. This is also the true embodiment of this book's "new thinking". Many unique grammatical views in the book are the experience and research results accumulated by the author in the process of English learning and teaching practice for many years.

And in the choice of example sentences, the author pays attention to typical, vivid and interesting example sentences, and tries to avoid boring and monotonous example sentences in common grammar books. This book is especially practical and effective for advanced English learners, especially for students preparing for CET-4 and CET-6, as well as students taking the exam and taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

I'm still reading elementary books, which makes people shine. For example:

The meaning of this sentence is not:

But:

Do you feel as if you have never studied English? Teacher Zhang starts with the most basic terms, which I think is suitable for English lovers of any basic level.

I recommend it to you here.
