English Basics: a companion to grammar and writing is an accessible reference and practice book that can be used both in the classroom and at home. It provides help with the 'mechanics' of the English language - grammar, punctuation and spelling - and is ideal for students, teachers and anyone who needs to use English with a high degree of competence.

Each unit contains a reference section and tasks that help to assess knowledge and evaluate strengths and weaknesses. A Knowledge check section provides opportunities for extension, revision and consolidation of particular points. The book also includes answers to all exercises, and a glossary.
