Grammar Spectrum 2

Grammar Spectrum 2 is for pre-intermediate students of English. It explains and practises the grammar that pre-intermediate students need to learn. It can be used for self-study, for homework, and in class. This book is part of the Grammar Spectrum series of books; students can use the whole series to progress from an elementary to an intermediate level of English.

Using the book

When you have a particular grammar problem, you can look it up in the Contents at the front of the book, or in the Index at the back. You can then study the unit that deals with that problem. Or, you can work through the book from beginning to end.

Each unit begins with an explanation of the grammar point, and then it has a number of exercises for students to practise the grammar they have read about. Students can write their answers in the book, or on a separate piece of paper. When you have finished the exercises, you can check your answers in the answer key at the back of the book (page 102).

Form tables at the back of the book (pages 94-97) give information on Present Simple forms, -ing forms, past participles, etc.

Finishing the book

When you have finished studying the whole book, you can do the Exit tests on pages 98 to 101. In the Exit tests, every question tests something from a unit with the same number. If you make a mistake, for example in question 30, you can look back to unit 30 and study that unit again. The answers to the Exit tests are on page 117.

Enjoy your studies, and remember, when you have finished Grammar Spectrum 2, you are then ready to go on to Grammar Spectrum 3.
