big grammar book
Introduction
Hello there . . . !
. . . and welcome to English Banana.com’s big grammar book. It’s the third
fantastic book from English Banana and the aim this time is to practise
grammar, grammar and, er, more grammar!
It’s jam-packed from cover to cover with a great selection of photocopiable
worksheets taken from the popular English Banana.com website. We wanted
to provide teachers with a really useful book of no-nonsense grammar
worksheets that they can dip into and use in class with students at Entry Level
(ESOL Core Curriculum Entry Levels 1 & 2). It is also ideal for students to
work with at home since the answers are all printed at the back.
The book is divided into four parts and is graded in difficulty, so that it begins
with some basic stuff and builds up to more challenging grammar activities. It
features a selection of Essential English worksheets which provide practice for
crucial basic areas of knowledge for learners at Entry Level, like using
numbers, writing the alphabet, spelling days and months correctly, and so on.
