7 e0 Q' d1 [7 m- u- eThere are 145 units in the book. Each unit concentrates on a particular point of grammar. Some, I  |: e  W" `6 T
problems (for example, the present perfect or the use of the) are covered in more than one unit. For a
1 A4 w: u+ b, ?! q7 ~# I9 tlist of units, see the Contents at the beginning of the book.

right there are exercises. At the back of the book there is a Key for you to check your answers to the
# v9 X# s: H0 q- H$ Xexercises (page 336).

verbs, summaries of verb forms, spelling and American English.3 @; [- L- m6 t' b0 V. d9 Y8 P

The units are not in order of difficulty, so it is not intended that you work through the book from
