What Is Easy English?
Easy English is a series of books to help you learn and revise your English with minimal effort.
There are two main strands of the series. You can improve your English by
1. doing short exercises to improve specific areas of grammar (this book) and vocabulary. The grammar and vocabulary books on focus the areas that tend to lead to the most mistakes. The aim is just to highlight what you really need rather than overwhelming you with a mass of rules, many of which may have no practical daily value
2. reading texts in English that you might well normally read in your own language (e.g. personality tests, jokes, lateral thinking games, word searches).
Who Is this Book for? What Level Do I Need to Be?
Anyone who is interested in eliminating the typical mistakes they make as a result of not being able to easily distinguish between similar grammatical items (e.g. the difference between the present perfect and the simple past, or between that and which).
You need to have reached a mid-intermediate level of English to benefit from this book.
Which Is the Best Format to Buy this Book in?
Paper, without any doubt. The exercises involve you writing or underlining directly onto the page. With an e-reader this would be much more difficult. However, an e-book provides a dictionary which will occasionally be useful for you.
