Acquiring an understanding of phrasal verbs - so essential for a fluent command of spoken English - can be boring and difficult. Not so with this book! Making sense of Phrasal Verbs presents some of the most common verbs through lively cartoon illustrations and guides learners to an understanding of their meanings with carefully worded cue questions. A series of exercises offers first controlled and then freer practice of the newly-learned verbs, while the Reference Section at the back of the book, with its meaning check, context sentences and collocation, helps to make this a clear, lively introduction to the subject.

The Anti-Grammar Book is a teacher's resource book which offers an exciting approach to grammar work, focusing on the main verb tenses in English. Activities are graded as suitable for use with students from intermediate to advanced level.

It is "anti-grammar" because it avoids simply presenting students with rules to learn. Instead, tudents are encourages to discover the rules of grammar for themselves by engaging in a wide variety of problem-solving activities.

The first part of the book contains Teacher's Notes and an answer key for each activity. The second part of the book consists of photocopiable worksheets, covering a range of activity types, for students to work on in pairs or in groups.

The innovative learning activities in this book have all arisen out of the authors' direct experience in the classroom.
