A concise but fairly comprehensive description of the central areas of English grammar.This book is addressed to university and college students of English at the undergraduate level. For these students, grammar should not just be a tool in learning the language; it should also give insight into how the language works. As indicated by the title, the aim is to provide both practice and theoretical insight. To increase the practical utility of the book, the authors frequently draw attention to differences between Norwegian and English that are likely to cause difficulties for Norwegian learners, and they provide a great deal of exercise material. This new edition is thoroughly revised and has a slightly revised chapter organization. Among other things, it pays more attention to aspects of language use such as formality, text type and genre, and many of the examples and exercises are new. A Key to Exercises is provided in a separate volume: ISBN 9788215018973.]]>
