This title covers the core areas of grammar and vocabulary such as: words and sentences, word structure, sentence patterns, clause and phrase, grammar rules and vocabularies.

This work goes back to the sources of modern English words and studies the development of vocabulary over time. It examines what constitutes a word, with a discussion of words that look and sound the same, words that have several meanings, and "words" that are made up of more than one "word". As well as considering the borrowing of words from other languages throughout the history of English as a means of increasing the vocabulary, the book also outlines how English forms new words by exploiting the structure of existing words, through processes of derivation and compounding. The meaning of a word is composite of a number of relations: reference to external context, relations with other words of a similar or opposite meaning, collocational relations, and so on. The book grapples with the meaning problem, but then goes on to look at the contexts in which words are used and the purposes for which they are used, raising the question whether it is more sensible to talk about English "vocabularies" rather than English "vocabulary".

This brings us to the end but for you this should be the beginning. You have understood how English is constructed. You have seen the English structure in various contexts. By now, we are sure you know what is the correct form of English. You also have learnt expressions and vocabulary. That is needed for effective written and spoken English. Now you must go on from here and do lots of reading, lots of writing, lots of listening and watching. You must become better and better with each day. You will reach the day when you have an absolute command on English and this foundation will always stay with you and actually will get strengthened.

This preparation book for the Cambridge advanced and proficiency exams provides coverage of the structures and vocabulary essential for exam success. Grammar is presented clearly and concisely in each unit with integrated vocabulary content, and varied and challenging exercises.

This book uses a powerful mnemonic technique, the keyword method, to lock 1413 SAT and GRE words into the reader's memory quickly and easily. Dramatic improvements can be made in vocabulary size, reading comprehension, and scores on verbal exams. Since standard intelligence tests have significant verbal components, a major increase in vocabulary such as can be facilitated by this book should increase IQ scores. Here's how it works: Take the word DEFENESTRATE, which means to throw out of a window. This word is too limited in use to be in the book, but we want to demonstrate the method by having you actually learn a new word. The next time you encounter DEFENESTRATE, think DEFEND THE STREET. That's called the "key." Now, to "link" the key to the definition, imagine your town invaded by enemy troops, and citizens defending the streets by throwing objects out of the windows at them. So, in the format of Build Your Vocabulary Skills!, we have the following:DEFENESTRATE (duh FEN es trate) to throw out of a windowKEY: DEFEND THE STREETLINK SENTENCE: The townfolk defended their streets against the inemy invaders by throwing things out ot the windows at them.Now, answer the following without looking at the above:DEFENESTRATEWhat is the KEY?What is the LINK SENTENCE?So, what does DEFENESTRATE mean?Drill yourself on this a couple of times and you'll never forget it. We have no suggestions as to how you could work this word into a conversation, but Build Your Vocabulary Skills! has over 1400 more useful words, each with pronunciation, definition, dey and links, so don't defenestrate this book on that account.

Learning different words becomes essential when someone wants to have mastery over the language, other than one's mother tongue. Specifically, the students who are appearing for IELTS, DUOLINGO, TOEFL, CAE, OET or PTE must know the common and uncommon words of the English language, as a certain percentage of grading depends on the appropriate usage of the lexical resource. As all the words of the English language may be difficult to learn, it is imperative to learn at least 800-1000 words which are important to communicate in the English language. Keeping in view the levels of common students, in the first section, some of the common and uncommon words are presented in different parts with usage and examples to enhance the spelling power and lexical resource of the students. Besides,We usually learn our mother tongue just by listening to others and sometimes by just imitating others’ speaking styles. It is a fact that nobody learns the grammar of his native language. However, to learn any language other than the native language, we need to know the basics of the grammar of that particular language, which we want to learn. Learning the basics of any language becomes essential when someone wants to have mastery over the language. Specifically, the students who are appearing for IELTS, TOEFL, CAE or PTE must know the basics of the English language as a certain percentage of grading depends on the actual usage of grammar. As the whole grammar may be difficult to learn, it is imperative to learn at least the parts of speech, which are important to learn to write and speak correct sentences of the English language. There are eight parts of speech like 1. Noun, 2. Pronoun, 3. Verb, 4. Adverb, 5. Adjective, 6. Preposition, 7. Conjunction, 8. Interjection, but in certain English-speaking countries, nine parts of speech are considered as they include the article as the ninth part. In this book, nine parts of speech, their usage with examples and worksheets with answers for practice are explained systematically. Finally, this book explains how the rules of the basic grammar are used for making sentences of daily and academic use
