And honestly, this book is so much better! It surpassed my expectations. It is compact, yet helpful and full of useful information that otherwise would have been a pain to Google search for. There’s a helpful index at the back of the book, which I am making extensive use of for my pre-course task. Not to mention, the language is clear and concise. This is exactly what I needed. With all of that said, this is more of a reference for learning new information. This is NOT the book for you if all you’re looking for is some practice exercises, there aren’t any in this book. Review: An absolute must-have for any English learner. - If you study English, buy this book whatever your current level is (though it may seem a bit difficult for a beginner). Perhaps this is the only book you will ever need. If you have a friend who studies English, this would be a striking gift. Pros: - the book is beautifully designed in terms of publishing (overall quality, fonts, colors, etc.) and in terms of its structure (it is really well-thought-out); - the first part of the book comprehensively deals with grammar rules and usage; - the second part is devoted to vocabulary usage (for example, here you can find the explanations like: the difference in usage between "to begin" and "to start", "to end" and "to finish", "cloth" and "clothes", "classic" and "classical", "also", "as well" and "too", etc.). Cons: - honestly, I couldn't come up with a single shortcoming. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,452,727 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #692 in English as a Second Language Instruction #766 in Foreign Language Instruction (Books) #3,291 in Words, Language & Grammar (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,156) | | Dimensions | 1.7 x 6.4 x 9.3 inches | | Edition | 4th | | ISBN-10 | 0194202429 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0194202428 | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | PRACTICAL ENGLISH USAGE | | Print length | 768 pages | | Publication date | February 7, 2017 | | Publisher | Oxford University Press | ## Images ![Practical English Usage, 4th Edition Hardback with Online Access: Michael Swan's guide to problems in English - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MC-7+y0AL.jpg) ![Practical English Usage, 4th Edition Hardback with Online Access: Michael Swan's guide to problems in English - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hHP9+7L3S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is for helping you learn new concepts, NOT practise the concepts you already know. *by H***H on April 7, 2019* The British Council recommended this book (along with a few others) as a helpful resource for the CELTA course, so I purchased it and one other textbook.
