Overview

This new addition to the successful Practice Makes Perfect series, Practice Makes Perfect: English Pronouns and Prepositions offers a detailed examination of these two essential aspects of English grammar, which ESL students need to master to communicate with confidence. Learners of English often have difficulty with these areas because the usage of pronouns or prepositions rarely translates directly from their native languages to English. This book provides clear explanations of the usage of pronouns and prepositions, followed by practical examples illustrating and clarifying each point. Where appropriate, exceptions to the rule are highlighted and boxed summaries of key grammar points are given. Extensive exercises provide ample opportunity to practice. These exercises will be in a variety of formats, including fill-in-the-blank sentences or passages, translations, multiple choice, re-writing sentences, and creative writing exercises. Answers to all questions are provided in the back of the book, providing immediate feedback. Certain exercises, devoted to areas that often cause difficulty to learners, have running commentary answers that don't just provide the answer but also explain the thinking process behind them. The appendix contains a list of commonly used prepositions. This is a particularly important resource for compound prepositions (because of, on account of, etc.), because they are often the source of confusion for ESL learners.
