This book is extremely helpful to anyone interested in studying Italian and learning Italian grammar. It explains the English grammar first and then goes into a simple explanation of Italian grammar. I find it to be an essential resource. My Italian teacher uses it too.
A real gem

This book is a wonderful read if you were only interested in English grammar, What a wonderful concept to show the concepts of Italian and English grammar side by side. Each section is very readable and I particularly like the fact that each section includes references to other relevant sections. I thought I'd be reading it cover to cover, but I find it's more informative to hop around as my cuiousity is piqued.
What a great idea for a book!

This book makes the grammar of both English and Italian stand out in high relief. You'll emerge from it with a firmer grasp of both languages. If you want to learn Italian, it should be one of the first five things that you buy. The other four should be a good dictionary, How To Pronounce Italian Correctly (the booklet and tape cassette), Ultimate Italian (the book and audio CD or cassettes) and Pimsleur Italian, if you can afford it.
An excellent resource for students of Italian.

Although I'm an attorney and have nearly perfect grasp of spoken and written English, my understanding has always been on an instinctive level. This book is fascinating more for what it teaches us about our own language than for what it shows us about Italian.I highly recommend it.
