Changing the focus of a sentence 232 lntroduction direct We study a large The coBUtLD approach to grammar is simple andpeople are actually using texts, and find out how I collection of English I the language We pick the most important points and we show how the words and phrases are used by quoting actual examples from our text collection As a student of English, you can be sure that you are presented with real English, as it is actually used ln this book we give explanations of the most important, frequent, and typical points of English grammar along with a lot of practice material so that you can put the knowledge to use immediately This makes the book suitable both as a classroom text, and also for private study This is a grammar of meanings as well as structures The exercises help you to link the meanings and structures, notjust to practise the structures There are two editions available: with or without a key to the exercises The grammar is often very direct and easy to understand Sometimes English speakers and writers prefer a simple structure and only very advanced students need to know more than that At other times we give more details, because they are necessary for clear understanding and accurate usage This book has developed from the same database which was used in the Collins Cobuild English Grammar Our first grammar book has been well received, and we are continuing full scale research on grammar in order to be ever more accurate and relevant to the needs of the teacher and student lwould be very glad to have your comments on this book, especially on how useful you find it lt is designed for use by anyone who has enough English to understand the explanations, which we expect to be intermediate and above John Sinclair Editor in Chief Cobuild Professor of Modern English Language University of Birmi ngham vii How to use the Grammar This book is designed so that you can find the answers to particular problems of English grammar You are not expected to start at Unit and study the Units one by one, or to study a whole Unit at a time Different people have different problems, so they need to look at d ifferent points in different Units Flndlng what you want Contents There is a complete list of contents on pages iv to v This gives the numbers and titles of all the Units The Units are grouped under various headings to help you, for example 'Nouns', 'Prepositions', and 'Modals' lndex There is an lndex at the back of the book on pages 233 to 240 The lndex is an alphabetical list of grammar points covered in this book For each point, the lndex gives the Unit number and paragraph number where the point is explained Grammar terms such as'adjectives', 'nouns', and lerbs'are in bold letters The ideas that you can express, such as 'ability' and 'certainty', are also in bold letters The actual words and forms explained in the grammar, such as 'able' and 'this', are in italic letters So you can find the point you want by looking in the index Glossary There is a Glossary on pages x to xiv The Glossary explains the meaning of the grammar terms used in this book, with examples The terms are listed in alphabetical order lf you are not sure what a term means, you can look at the Glossary Uslng the grammar unlts Each Unit has two parts The left-hand page contains the explanation of the grammar rules and patterns The right-hand page contains practice material Left-hand pages Maln polnts The left-hand page has two columns At the top of the first column you will find a section headed 'Main points' This is a summary of the important information given in the Unit Each Main point is introduced by a large bold dot You will find more detailed information about the point in the numbered paragraphs on the same page
