Grammar for Teachers: A Guide to American English for Native and Non-Native Speakers

I have been using the digital version of the text and there are issues with the formatting which impact the appearance of some of the punctuation in the text. Needless to say, this is a MAJOR issue for a book that is dealing with grammar. Directions are often not clear for the exercises and this book relies heavily on in-class activities.I've since received a hard copy of the text and have to agree with other reviews that the quality of the printing is poor. There are also quite a few editing/grammar errors. Quite unfortunate.

This is an excellent book, very thorough and well written, but why is it so expensive? And for what I paid, it should have been printed better. This seems like a POD (print on demand) book. Nothing wrong with that, but in several places the type is faint and fuzzy and a bit difficult to read. Not impossible, by any means, but it's got me reaching for my reading glasses. For what this book cost, it should be perfect.

This book has any errors, which I think is unacceptable in a book for teachers. Many quoted authors names misspelled, weird examples and so hard to read.

Item as described!!! Good price too!!!!

Excellent book of grammar for teachers. I highly recommend it.

Good reference. Sometimes not well organized. Should be on your book shelf.....but not the only book on your shelf.

Great examples included within this book. I can use this book in years to come because each concept provides how each can and should be used.

This grammar tries to cover too much ground and fails to approach important things. It has too many typos, few examples, barely cover exceptions and the exercises are superficial. It's also poorly written and the Kindle version is awful!

ESL/EFL学習者対象の文法書。「文法とは何か」「形態論」「名詞句」「形容詞と副詞」「動詞と動詞句」「時、時制と動詞の相」「法助動詞と関連構造」「基本文型と主要な変形」（日本で使われるいわゆるSVOなどの基本文型でなく、能動文、疑問文、受け身文など）、「等位文と複文：副詞節」「文と関係詞節」「複文と名詞節」「動詞構文」などから成る。格別新しい情報はなかったが、丹念に読むと有益な情報も少なくない。たとえば、mustとhave to の相違についてmust は「外部から課された規則、義務」、Have toは「自ら自分に課した義務」のように区別される。Drivers must obey traffic laws.I have to get my oil changed.しかしこの区別は必ずしも守られない｡特にアメリカ英語の話しことばではhave to, have got toが普通で、外部から課された規則、義務であってもmust よりhave to, have got to の方が頻度が高い（e, g, Drivers have to obey traffic laws.）、という旨の指摘がある(pp. 221-22)。特に新しい指摘ではないが、例文と合わせて考えると理解しやすい。全体的に言って本書は例文に工夫が凝らされている。関係詞の制限・非制限の例。Jason kept on telling jokes which made all of us really angry.Jason kept on telling jokes, which made all of us really angry.　(p.321)教室英文法に関心のある方にお薦めできる1冊である。
