DESCRIPTION:
Praise for Routledge Modern Grammars -‘The entire series is outstanding. Why? Because it's totally practical without getting stuck in grammatical obscurities. It reflects the actual, contemporary use of the language as it is used by ordinary, educated speakers.’ - Harold Goodman, author of the Michel Thomas courses
With a strong emphasis on contemporary usage, all grammar points and functions are richly illustrated with examples.Implementing feedback from users of the first edition, this text includes clearer explanations, as well as a greater emphasis on areas of particular difficulty for learners of Italian. No prior knowledge of grammatical terminology is needed and a glossary of grammatical terms is provided. Divided into two sections, the book covers:traditional grammatical categories such as word order, nouns, verbs and adjectiveslanguage fun
Not a traditional grammar, but outstanding for its purpose Wray Mould The two Italian grammar texts I use the most are Soluzioni, Second Edition [Edit: now in a Third Edition] and Anna Proudfoot's Modern Italian Grammar: A Practical Guide. The first 107 pages of Proudfoot are a traditional arrangement of grammar topics, for which I usually use Soluzioni. But the remaining 278 pages are a wonderful trip through var. "Great for those who want to speak the language correctly." according to Nik. This is an excellent Italian grammar book for those who really want to know how to speak Italian correctly. The explanations are clear and the book is thorough. I am very happy with my purchase.
