<br/><br/>"Canadian Grammar Spectrum is a series of books, each written at the appropriate level for you at each stage in you study of English. The series is intended for your use either in a classroom or when working independently on you own time. <br/> 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. <br/> You may want to choose the order in which you study the grammar topics, perhaps going first to those which are giving you problems. (Topics are listed in the Contents page at the front of each book and in the Index at the back.) Alternatively, you may choose to start at the beginning of each books and work through to the end."<br/> CONTENTS:<br/> Words and sentences<br/>  Word classes: nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.<br/>  Sentence structure: subject, verb, object, etc.<br/>  Direct and indirect object<br/> Verbs <br/>  Simple Present<br/>  Present Progressive<br/>  Simple Past<br/>  Past Progressive<br/>  Present Perfect (1)<br/>  Present Perfect (2): just, already, yet; for and since<br/>  Present Perfect (3): ever, this week, etc.<br/>  Present Perfect Progressive<br/>  Past Perfect<br/>  Past Perfect Progressive<br/>  The future<br/>  Will and shall<br/>  Be going to<br/>  The verb have<br/> Questions, negatives, and answers<br/>  Yes/no questions<br/>  Short answers<br/>  Question tags<br/>  So/Neither do I and I think so<br/> Modal verbs<br/>  Permission: can, may, could, and be allowed to<br/>  Necessity: have to and must<br/>  Necessity: must not, don't have to, don't need to<br/> Passive <br/>  Passive Verb Forms<br/>  Have something done<br/> The Infinitive and the -ing form<br/>  Verb + to-infinitive  Verb + -ing form Nouns and articles  Countable and uncountable nouns<br/>  A carton of milk, a piece of information, etc.<br/>  Nouns that can be countable or uncountable <br/>  Singular or plural?<br/>  A/an and the  Place names and the This, my, some, a lot of, etc.  This, that, these and those <br/>  My, your. etc. and mine, yours, etc.<br/>  Some and any<br/>  A lot of, Lots of, many, much, (a) few, and (a) little <br/> Pronouns  Personal Pronouns  There and it  The pronoun one/ones Adjectives and adverbs  Adjectives  Adjective order<br/>  Comparative and superlative forms<br/>  Adverbs of degree Prepositions  In, on, and at (place)  In, on, and at (time)  Preposition + noun Verbs with prepositions and adverbs   Prepositional verbs Reported speech<br/>  Direct speech and reported speech<br/> Conditionals and wish  Zero and First Conditionals (Real Conditionals)<br/>  First and second conditionals (Real and unreal Conditionals)  Second and Third Conditionals (Unreal and Past Conditionals) Review test Appendices  Word formation  The spelling of endings  Punctuation  Pronunciation  Irregular verbs Answer Key Index
