I am an EFL teacher with 25 years experience and was recently asked to to teach English to a young French student here in France. As I am currently on holiday and I didn't have any teaching materials with me I immediately ordered a used copy of English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy. I already have two other older editions at home in the UK. It is an excellent and very accessible study reference with answer key for both teachers and students. No self respecting English language teacher should be without a copy. With the exception of Practical English Usage by Michael Swann , English Grammar in Use is the definitive self study grammar book in my humble opinion. It arrived much quicker than I had anticipated. It was triple wrapped and in pristine condition. It looked like new. Congratulations and thank you Shine wood!!

useful, interesting

Great service from the seller, as the book arrived the next day, and in perfect condition.The book itself is pretty much what I expected, but is a little on the technical side for me. I will keep it, but I was hoping for something that introduced the different parts of speech before giving examples and setting tests. I think this is a book used to support students of a knowledgable teacher, not, in this case, me!

Vital for any ESL/EFL teacher and great for students. I pair this book with a few others but always have in my bag as a back up in case we run out of planned lesson activities in my one-to-one lessons.Grammar is organised into a two page spread, with explanations on the left and exercises on the right. I would invest in this one and the other level ones to give you some freedom.I find that one student may need help with basic grammar points from the red book as well as more complex points in this book...as gaps in their knowledge haven't been filled by other teachers. BUY!

Not much to dislike.On the contrary a great tool to help the international student get to grips with English Grammar in a practical manner in order to be able to express themselves fluently in speech and the written form. First point of reference to reach for whether in Zurich or Zakopane.

This book is an incredible resource for ESL teachers. It is the easiest to understand out of all the grammar reference books I've read, providing clear examples in each lessons, accompanied by clear timelines and illustrations. The way Murphy explains the grammar works very well if you're trying to figure out how to teach it in class; he lays it out in a way that both the teacher and the students understand. Lastly, the exercises are brilliant. They're varied, follow a clear progression, and serve as a great springboard for further exercises and activities. I own a few more ESL books but this was by far my best purchase.
