English Grammar: Step by Step 1 - Couverture souple

Elizabeth Weal teaches English to adults in Redwood City, CA. Most of her students are from Latin America. When she found that there was no easy book, in Spanish, that explained grammar in simple, easy to follow language she decided to write her own book. Experience has taught her that virtually all students can understand the fundamentals of English grammar; all that is required is simple explanations and lots of practice. Elizabeth is the author of Gramatica del ingles: Paso a paso 1; Gramatica del ingles: Paso a paso 2, English Grammar: Step by Step 1, and English Grammar: Step by Step 2. She also has written teachers guides for these books, Teaching in English: Step by Step. Her most recent work is Writing in English: Step by Step, a book that teachers ESL students how to work clear, coherent, grammatically correct paragraphs in English.

The English Grammar: Step by Step series is unique because it is specifically designed for Spanish-speaking students who have little or no knowledge of Spanish or English grammar. English Grammar: Step by Step 1 covers basic punctuation and capitalization in English; the verbs to be and to have; contractions with to be; and possessive adjectives (my, his, her, etc.). It also includes more than a thousand exercises, with answers, and a dictionary that includes all of the words used in the book. An accompanying book, Teaching English: Step By Step 1, provides listening and speaking exercises that accompany the grammar exercises presented in English Grammar: Step by Step 1.
