Everyone wants to present themselves in the best possible way, andavoiding common errors in spoken and written English is a step towardsthis goal. And, while Easy English Grammar Step-by-Step teaches somebasic grammatical terms and definitions, it does much more than that. Thisbook teaches you to take what you’ve already learned and apply thatknowledge to help you recognize and avoid common errors in spoken andwritten English.Easy English Grammar Step-by-Step presents skills gradually. The chaptersbuild upon each other. Consequently, the best way to use this book is tobegin with Chapter 1 and continue with the chapters one after the other.Only Chapter 11, “Spelling,” and Appendix A, “100 Most Often MispelledMisspelled Words in English,” should be taken out of order. While spellingrules can be presented in one chapter, they certainly can’t be learned in onesitting. In fact, it is a good idea to study spelling in small doses. You canbegin studying these chapters early and continue studying them on a regularbasis.Easy English Grammar Step-by-Step emphasizes the difference betweentwo levels of English—informal and standard. Although both are correct inthe right environment, you don’t want to confuse the different levels ofspoken and written English. We all speak or write to friends and family inan informal way (usually in emails or texts), but being informal is notalways appropriate, especially if you’re writing a report for school or arésumé for a summer job. In those situations, your teacher or prospectiveemployer will expect to read Standard English.When in doubt, choose the standard level of English.
