This book for intermediate and more advanced students combines reference grammar and practice exercises in a single volume.

English Grammar in Use Third edition is a fully updated version of the classic grammar title. It retains all the key features of clarity and accessibility that have made the book so popular with students and teachers. This new edition is designed to be flexible. The book is available both with and without answers, so it can be used in class or for homework. The 'with answers' version of the book comes with a handy pullout reference panel which allows students to review key grammar points.

English Grammar in Use - чрезвычайно популярный учебник английской грамматики, написанный учителем английского как иностранного Реймондом Мерфи. Общий тираж этого пособия - более десяти миллионов экземпляров. «The blue Murphy», как называют этот учебник учителя из Великобритании, пользуется заслуженным признанием как у преподавателей, так и у изучающих английский язык.

Этот учебник рассчитан на людей, владеющих английским языком на среднем уровне. Его можно использовать как в классе, так и для самостоятельных занятий. Уровень этого учебника, однако, несколько выше уровня Intermediate по учебнику Headway, шкала уровней которого считается на курсах английского языка основной. На самом деле грамматика в English Grammar in Use дается в объеме, достаточном для сдачи First Certificate in English (FCE), что соответствует «продвинутому» (Advanced) уровню по Headway'ю. Однако все аспекты грамматики объясняются простым языком, поэтому понимание даже наиболее сложных вопросов не должно вызвать затруднений.

Книга удачно соединяет в себе и справочник по английской грамматике, и сборник упражнений на закрепление пройденного. Она разбита на 136 разделов (юнитов - Units), каждый из которых объясняет и закрепляет определенный аспект грамматики и занимает целый разворот: на левой половине - теория, на правой - практика. Все юниты независимы и могут быть пройдены в любом порядке.
