BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
English Grammar in Use, Raymond Murphy [ Ссылка ]
- This is a self-study reference and practice book for INTERMEDIATE (B1, B2) learners. It has well over 100 units and covers just about every grammar topic you could imagine, including verb tenses, prepositions, modal verbs, phrasal verbs, relative clauses… I love this book because each topic gives both a page of explanations and a page of exercises. The explanations are extremely clear! The answers are in the back of the book, and it even includes extra review exercises.

- This version includes an interactive eBook with downloadable audio.
