Building Grammar Skills for TOEFL, Dyczok H., 2007.

Фрагмент из книги.
The verb in the sentence describes the subject or describes the action of the subject. The verb must “agree" with the subject in number (if the subject is singular, the verb must be in the singular form) and in person (I/you/he/she/it etc.)
There are many forms of verb structures in English, and all verbs are classified as either Main or Auxiliary (helping). When you are examining a sentence, it is important to understand that all parts of the verb structure arc part of the verb and they give important information about the verb.

The intention in general is that language should have a familiar context and that learners should have something to use language for.

English Grammar for Today, A new introduction, Leech G., Deuchar M., Hoogenraad R., 1982.

   This is an introductory course in English grammar for use in English-medium schools, colleges and universities. Lamentably , there is at present no recognised place for English grammar in the British educational curriculum. In fact it is still possible for a student to end up with a degree in English at a British university without having cause to know the first thing about English grammar, or the grammar of any other language. But if we are right in supposing that the time is right for a revival of the subject in schools, there will be a growing need for introductory courses at various levels. Thus this book has a multiple purpose. It is primarily designed as a course book for students at the upper secondary level (sixth forms) and the tertiary level (colleges, polytechnics, universities), but it is also adapted to the needs of teachers interested in exploring a new approach to grammar, or of any person keen to catch up with a subject so wretchedly neglected by our educational system.

The book is also intended for use at the level of CAE, and includes new exercises practising the formal/informal register transfer task.
