Persian: A Comprehensive Grammar is a complete reference guide to the grammar system for intermediate to advanced learners of Persian. It presents an accessible and systematic description of the language, focusing on real patterns of use in contemporary Persian. The book is organised to promote a thorough understanding of Persian; its structure, its sound system and the formation of words, phrases and sentence construction. It offers a stimulating analysis of the complexities of the language, providing clear explanations and examples of each point. Persian: A Comprehensive Grammar is the essential reference work on Persian grammar for all learners and users of the language.

Mr Elwell-Sutton's book provides a simple grammatical framework for contemporary written Persian. It is based on the characteristic idiom and phraseology of the language as it is used in newspapers, magazines and novels. The student is introduced to Persian script from the first lesson. Words are fully vocalized in the early lessons, but vowels are progressively discarded; they are, however, shown in the vocabulary. The letter-forms of printed Persian are used cursive scripts. Although the structure of the language is Mr Elwell-Sutton's immediate concern, he has given close attention to the need for acquiring a workable vocabulary. The examples and exercises thus require only a limited vocabulary of words in fairly common use - about 1500 in all. The student is also given help with pronunciation; at the ends of lessons sample sentences from the exercises are printed with diacritics showing the intonation and stress of each syllable. At the end of the book there is a key to the lessons.

The "Essentials of Persian Grammar" is designed to assist learners of Persian language to better understand the most important elements of Persian grammar. This is not a text book. It is a resource to support Persian language learners and to supplement primary sources for students of Persian language. Each chapter is dedicated to an essential element of Persian grammar providing clear explanations and multiple examples followed by applied exercises. There are more than 100 pages of exercises throughout the book, with the solution keys available at the end of the book. All examples and exercises are accompanied by their English translations and the transliteration of the Persian words and sentences. For more information about Bahar Books visit: www.baharbooks.com
