A Comprehensive Grammar Of The English Language

This exercise looks at some common “American” words (words which are used in the U.S.A. and Canada). You might find it useful if you have been learning “British” English (the English which is spoken in the United Kingdom and in other countries around the world). Generally, “American” words are understood by “British” English speakers (largely as a result of imported television programs and movies), but many North Americans are unfamiliar with some “British” English words. | A COMPREHENSIVE GRAMMAR OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE Randolph Quirk Sidney Greenbaum Geoffrey Leech Jan Svartvik Index by David Crystal Longman London and New York Longmnn Group Limited Langman House Burnt Mill Harlow Essex CM20 2JE England and Associated Companies throughout the world.

Typeset printed and bound in Great Britain by William Clowes Limited Becclesand London. Designed by Arthur Lockwood V Preface From the time when we started collaborating as a team in the 1960s we envisaged not a grammar but a series of grammars. In 1972 there appeared the first volume in this series A Grammar of Contemporary English GCE . This was followed soon afterwards by two shorter works A Communicative Grammar of English CGE and A University Grammar of English UGE published in the United States with the title A Concise Grammar of Contemporary English . These two were in part an abridgment of GCE but what is more significant is that they were deliberately different both from the parent book and from each other. This is particularly obvious in the case of CGE which looks at the whole grammar .
