In my opinion that book I the best book to whom who want to improve their knowledge. The book is very easy to use - on the left side is grammar and on the right side are exercises.
I have discovered that book about 5 years ago and since that time I have bought 3 books in deferent editions.
All that time I have been using the book in wrong way... I have been reading grammar and doing exercises. I haven’t been learning the grammar and I have wanted to finish book as soon as possible.
Few weeks ago I saw a video on YouTube about the Murphy’s book. The video was made of an English teacher who explains how to use the book in the best way to increase good results. His advice is obvious... He recommends to make a copies of the exercises part and do not write in the book. In any day a learner can come back to previous units and repeat them.
Now I learn all grammar in every unit, make copies and do exercisers. It takes longer time but I hope it will work!
My favorite English grammar book.
To every English learner,I would like to recommend a book which called English Grammar in Use which was written by Raymond Murphy.
In my opinion this book is the best book for anyone who wants to improve their knowledge (of English Grammar). The book is very easy to use - on the left side is grammar and on the right side are exercises.
I have discovered that book about 5 years ago, and since that time I have bought 3 copies of the same book in different editions.
However, during all that time I have been using the book in the wrong way... I have only been reading grammar and doing exercises. I haven’t been learning the grammar as I wanted to finish book as soon as possible.

His advice is obvious... He recommends making a copies of the exercises part and do not writing in the book. That way, a learner can come back to previous units whenever they like and repeat them.
Now I learn all the grammar in every unit, make copies and do exercises. It takes longer, but I hope it will work!
Well done Alina, it sounds like you are working hard to improve your English! Be sure to review the units on Articles, as I think you will find them very useful :) English Grammar in Use is an absolute classic and every English learner should have a copy. If you really want to learn the rules though, I would suggest you create your own sentences after completing a unit, relating the rules to your own life. Making a connection in this way helps us to use the correct structures later on without having to think about it. It takes the human brain a lot of effort to remember abstract concepts like grammar rules, but it takes considerably less effort for us to remember a sentence using the rule when it relates to our own life.
Good luck on your English journey!
