Simply brilliant!
Clear and concise guidance for learners who are returning to study or for those confident with their academic writing skills a good source of information to consolidate their knowledge.
This is a really useful book for students entering higher education. It is written in a really informative and interesting way covering all the tricky topics relating to grammar that Foundation Degree (FD)students often struggle with. I highly recommend this book as essential reading prior to students starting a FD.
This is an excellent resource for international students new to Higher Education study in the UK.
