Living English Structure

This book is an attempt to answer the foreign student's grammatical problems empirically, and to give him a large number of appropriate exercises to practise the acceptable forms ... it does not ... tell the student what he ought to say in English, but tries to show him what is actually said. Many of the exercises are based on the results of personal "structure-counts"-in imitation of "word counts"-carried out while listening to the speech of educated English people over considerable periods ... the exercises [are divided] into elementary, intermediate, and advanced [and are designed primarily for oral practice] ... this book is ... for adult students. -Introd.
