The series is intended for your use either in a classroom or when working independently on you own time ; The books are divided into two-page units, each of which covers an important grammar topic. Each unit starts with an explanation of the grammar and is followed by a set of practice exercises. A test at the end of each book gives the opportunity for more practice and enables you to assess how much you have learned. Answers to the exercises and the tests are provided at the back of the book ; You may want to choose the order in which you study the grammar topics, perhaps going first to those which are giving you problems.
