English Grammar In Use is a modular grammar exercise book: each left-hand page contains explanations on a grammar point and its corresponding right-hand page gives exercises to practise that grammar. These form a 'unit', and each unit is self-contained but gives links to related units.

This format is perfect for, among other things, grammar practice deriving from conversation.

The clarity of the explanations and accuracy of the exercises has made this book a classic.

It is sold in various forms:

with answer key;
without answer key;
bundled with CD-ROM demo;
bundled with English Grammar in Use Supplementary Exercises.

I recommend a version with answer key, and more advanced students should consider a bundle with English Grammar in Use Supplementary Exercises.
