INTRODUCTION

Brush Up Your Grammar is a grammar textbook designed to ensure students’

success in learning English grammar. The textbook features a clear, easy-tounderstand

format that integrates practice of the rules of essential grammar (form)

with information about when to apply them and what they mean. Form is the structure of

a grammar point and what it looks like. Practice of the form builds students’ accuracy

and helps them recognize the grammar point in authentic situations, so they are better

prepared to understand what they are reading or what other people are saying. Function is

when and how we use a grammar point. Practice of the function builds students fluency

and helps them apply the grammar point in real lives. Abundant practice in both form

and function is a key to students’ success.

Brush Up Your Grammar contains 2 units of varying that proceed through grammar

points from basic to complex. The textbook starts with Modals, which express

ability, probability, obligation and necessity, prohibition, advice, and different degrees of

certainty. The book also includes passive structures with ‘have’ and ‘get’..

For each grammar point Brush Up Your Grammar follows a consistent format

 Each unit starts with a grammar chart where the form of grammar point is

clearly illustrated along with examples for students to clearly see the model.

 The chart also explains the function of grammar point, or how it is used, along

with additional examples.

 It provides exercised to practice the form and function together. Practice

moves logically from more controlled to less controlled. Section Your Turn

requires students to apply the grammar points in communicative activities.

Review provides a set of exercises that brings key grammar points together

and allow for more reinforcement.

Numerous grammar exercises provide intensive work on various grammatical

structures. They can serve both as a means for practicing structures and as a basis for

developing students’ compositional skills. Communicative activities encourage students

to use their grammar knowledge to gain skills, experience, and confidence to

use English outside of class and to continue learning on their own.

The authors hope you will enjoy working with Brush Up Your Grammar and
