A compact, user-friendly reference book addressing many of the
kinds of questions about grammar that regularly confront teachers,
both novice and experienced, when planning or executing their
lessons. A glance at any web-site, discussion forum or social
network shared by teachers of English suggests that teachers are
constantly asking each other questions related to pedagogical
grammar. These may simply be questions about terminology or
categorisation ('What's a clause?'; 'Is like a preposition?'), or
they may seek to unravel subtle grammatical distinctions ('What's
the difference between for and since?) or explain persistent
learner errors ('Why in bed and not in the bed?'). This book is
designed to fulfil this basic, everyday need - as well as being a
book that can be read for interest, and even pleasure, in its own
right.
