Grammar and Usage in the Classroom (2nd Edition)

This is a great book for teachers. It gives great tools and tests for teachers to use and give students to help them unlock grammar. However, it has many errors - many in the self-check answers section. Apparently, the wrong draft was sent to print (rumor I heard from a friend/co-worker of Lester's). I wish the publishers would print a revised edition. Without the mistakes I would give it five stars.

With the exception of some "tests" the author has derived to check for different parts of speech, this book is quite average in its content, and the way it is organized makes it not very useful as a reference.

This book provides a good general overview of grammar with lots of practice exercises with an answer key in the back. One major flaw with this book is that there are a number of mistakes. Some of the answers in the key are wrong which makes it very difficult to check your work.
