Cambridge First Certificate Grammar and Usage New Edition provides thorough, communicative language work for general English students and candidates preparing for Paper 3 of the Cambridge First Certificate examination. Each unit contains innovative activities centred around one main language area. Students draw useful information from the grammar reference sections, practise with a wide range of exercise types and apply this knowledge to the exam-specific tasks which appear in the fully updated exam focus sections at the end of each unit. They are guided throughout the book by clear explanations and helpful illustrated hints. Cambridge First Certificate Grammar and Usage adopts a task-based approach to encourage students to formulate grammar rules for themselves, while introducing them to different grammar learning strategies.
