Secrets of English Grammar Paul Fanning

"Secrets of English Grammar" is an advanced level study book for adult writers who do not speak English as their mother tongue. In 45 chapters averaging around 1500 words each, it offers detailed, non-technical description and explanation of problematic grammar topics within academic and professional writing. Many of the topics - "Good and Bad Repetition" for example - are rare in, or absent from, mainstream grammar publications. With those that are not, an original approach is always sought. Some chapters are followed by a brief practice exercise with answers. All of the chapters were originally published within a blog of over 200 posts by the same author (GUINLIST: English Grammar and Vocabulary for Academic and Professional Writing). Their selection results from their having proved the most popular in terms of reader views. Within the book, they are grouped into suitable wider categories such as Appropriacy, Linking, Verbs and Nouns.
