BASIC GRAMMAR 5 WEPC15123 BASIC
WORKBOOK
Grammar is basically the study of how sentences mean. If we want to understand the WORKBOOK5
meaning conveyed by sentences, and to develop our ability to express and respond GRAMMAR
to this meaning, then the more we know about grammar, the better we will be able to
carry out these tasks.
When it comes to learning English grammar, practice is indispensable. So we need to
do a lot of skill-building exercises in the interactive environment of a classroom or in the
independent environment of a home.
The editorial team and writers of BASIC GRAMMAR WORKBOOK series firmly J. Lee
believe that “Practice Makes Perfect”, so do you.

WORKBOOK
Grammar is basically the study of how sentences mean. If we want to understand the WORKBOOK5
meaning conveyed by sentences, and to develop our ability to express and respond GRAMMAR
to this meaning, then the more we know about grammar, the better we will be able to
carry out these tasks.
When it comes to learning English grammar, practice is indispensable. So we need to
do a lot of skill-building exercises in the interactive environment of a classroom or in the
independent environment of a home.
