A huge thanks to Netgalley and Wellfleet Press for providing me with a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Rating: 4.5/5⭐


Synopsis: A handbook for quick grammar reference. For adults and for students. This book is for everyone. People who want a quick refresher on English grammar and also for people who want to learn the basics of English grammar. The book is divided into three parts and I found that to be really resourceful. In the first part, we get to quickly go over the fundamentals of grammar, moving on to the second part, we focus on individual topics in depth with real life examples to better understand the topics and the third and final part of the book deals with common pitfalls and mistakes we make in our everyday usage of the language.


Review: This book is exactly what I've been looking for. For the past few months, I've had this thought of refreshing my knowledge of basic English grammar rules and when I saw this title on Netgalley, I just couldn't resist it. I had high expectations diving into the book and I have to say, this book didn't disappoint at all. It covers most of the topics in English grammar and contains answers to almost all of your questions. It can be your offline reference guide that you can carry around or have in your home library.


It is written in an easy-to-understand way with plenty of beautiful illustrations. With well structured content and all the important points highlighted, this book can be your quick reference guide while writing. It has adequate explanation on each topic to help you better grasp the subject. This book not only helps you improve your writing skills but by improving your grammar helps your improve your communication skills as well.


After reading this book you'll have the grammar proficiency of a high school graduate. The tables and glossary in the appendix is really helpful in finding topics and understanding basic grammar words.


I would definitely recommend this book to everyone who wants to inprove their English grammar.

"Everyday Grammar Made Easy" offers a quick refresher of English grammar. The book was strictly structured and I liked that the most important parts were highlighted.

I especially enjoyed the book's last chapter on common pitfalls of the English language.

I was granted eARC access to Everyday Grammar Made Easy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book looks like an excellent quick reference sort of resource for those who have questions about basic grammar while writing and want to be able to find reliable answers all in one offline location. I can imagine this in printed form now on thick, glossy paper and it looks impressive! I do wish the eARC file had been delivered in single page view so I could convert to mobi and send it to my reader, and I imagine this will be a very handy eBook to have around as well if that option is offered.

The grammar rules covered will bring any user up to a high school graduate's level of proficiency quite quickly. Figures and examples are clear and presented in a visually pleasing way. The table of contents and index are well organized and detailed and will make finding specific items quick and easy.

I must comment that the section on pronouns only uses they/them in the plural and refers to "it" as a personal pronoun. These rules are fairly standard in MLA grammar rules and "personal" in this case does not necessarily only refer to humans, but these details are outdated. "It" should never be used to refer to a person, which is how the section implies it should be used. Singular "they" has been an acceptable part of the English language since the 14th century, used by the likes of Shakespeare and Chaucer, and predates the singular "you."

I am one of those people who care about grammar. Lately, my pet peeve has been that everyone from Prince Harry on down is using the words me and I incorrectly. So, I was excited to see this ARC on grammar, nerdy though that may be. And, yes, attention is given to that very topic in one of the book’s sections.

This title is densely packed with information. Readers who want to learn more about grammar or those who want some tricky questions answered will both find answers within.

Grammar is described by the author as the principles that guide how words work together. If a reader wants to speak or write more effectively, the rules and practices described in this book will be most helpful.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own
