<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: Verbs<br/>  Present progressive or simple present?<br/>  Past progressive or simple past?<br/>  Present perfect or simple past (1)<br/>  Present perfect or simple past (2)<br/>  Present perfect or present perfect progressive?<br/>  Will and be going to <br/>  Present tenses for the future<br/>  Will be doing<br/>  Short forms (it's, don't)<br/> Questions, negatives, and answers<br/>  Wh- questions<br/>  Prepositions in wh- questions<br/>  Negative statements<br/> Modal verbs<br/>  Ability: can, could, and be able to<br/>  Possibility and certainty: may, might, could, must, etc. <br/>  Should, ought to, had better, and be supposed to<br/>  Asking people to do things<br/> Passive<br/>  Active and passive (1)<br/>  Active and passive (2)<br/> The infinitive and the -ing form<br/>  Verb + to-infinitive or verb + -ing form?<br/>  Verb + object + to-infinitive or -ing form <br/>  Question word + to-infinitive <br/>  Adjective + to-infinitive <br/>  For with the to-infinitive <br/>  The infinitive with and without to<br/>  Afraid to do or afraid of doing?<br/>  See it happen it see it happening?<br/> Nouns and articles<br/>  Agreement<br/>  A/an, one, and some<br/>  Cars or the cars?<br/>  On Friday, for lunch, etc.<br/> This, my, some, a lot of, etc.<br/>  The possessive form and of<br/> Pronouns<br/>  Reflexive pronouns<br/>  Everyone, something, etc.<br/> Adjectives and adverbs<br/>  Interesting and interested<br/>  Adjective or adverb?<br/>  Adverbs and word order<br/> Prepositions<br/>  Prepositions of place<br/>  For, since, ago, and earlier<br/> Verbs with prepositions and adverbs<br/>  Verb + object + preposition<br/>  Phrasal verbs<br/> Reported speech<br/>  Reported speech: person, place, and time<br/>  Reported speech: the tense change<br/>  Reported questions<br/>  Reported requests, offers, etc.<br/> Relative clauses <br/>  Relative clauses with who, which, and that<br/>  Relative clauses with whose, what, and it<br/> Conditionals<br/>  Conditionals<br/> Linking words<br/>  But, although, in spite of, whereas, etc.<br/>  To, in order to, so that, and for<br/> Review test<br/> Appendices<br/>  Appendix 1: Word formation<br/>  Appendix 2: The spelling of endings<br/>  Appendix 3: Punctuation<br/>  Appendix 4: Pronunciation<br/>  Appendix 5: Irregular verbs<br/> Answer key<br/> Index<br/>
