      English Sentences Quiz - Radoslaw Wieckowski

      Preface

      In everyday communication we do not pay much attention to the building blocks of a sentence, the setup of which impacts the way we are understood by others. Irrespective of which level of English we are at, we tend to ask ourselves questions about the building blocks, just like doing a jigsaw puzzle we try to fit together small pieces of different shapes. The ebook is the form of a quiz which consists in deciphering which sentences are correct and incorrect. It is an interesting and informative resource for inquisitive English learners by focusing on a wide variety of contrastive contexts. With this self-study guide, you will be able to test your knowledge of English and see the correct answer consulting the key equipped with bracketed explanations. A plethora of seemingly similar sentences constitutes the biggest asset of the publication. The more correct and incorrect sentences you study in contrastive contexts, the better chance of gaining a feel for correct English usage. When the sentence is wrong the first fundamental step is to identify where the problem is before even finding the solution, rather than randomly changing things hoping for a stroke of luck. It is worth mentioning at this point that the ebook is not a coursebook and does not aim to be as such. It is a selective and inspiring collection of sentences, which I hope, will encourage the learner to do their own study into this fascinating language.
