Dear ESL/EFL colleagues,
Tonce met a teacher who had recently used one of my texts in her
students said to her, “Thank you for teaching me the secrets of English.”
iss. At the end of the term, one of her
1 still smile when I think of that comment. Of course, we know there are no “secrets,” but I think I
understand what the student meant—that it’s sometimes helpful to understand what's going on underneath the
surface of a language. A second language can seem so dizzying and random. little information about its
patterns can help students make sense of it and give them a foundation for language growth.
‘The first book in the Azar series was published in 1981. Tt was the blue book, Understanding and Using
English Grammar, which grew out of many years of creating my own materials for my own classes. I then wrote
two other texts, the red and the black, creating The Azar Grammar Series
Allof the texts have undergone revisions over the years with many evolutionary changes, especially in
the use of more interactive and communicative activities. But throughout this time, the original vision remains
as stated in the very first book: the goal is the development of all usage skills from a grammar base by giving
clear grammar information and employing a variety of practice modes, from controlled response to open
communicative interaction,
‘When I published the first book, I hoped maybe a few other teachers might find the textbook useful, too. In
all honesty, I never imagined there were so many teachers like myself who found a grammar-based skills approach
to be effective and appropriate for their students. It turns out we are legion,
During the naturalist approach heyday in the 80s and into the 90s, when advocates of zero grammar held
sway, grammar instruction largely disappeared from school curricula for native speakers of English, But because
of teacher support for grammar-based materials like mine, grammar teaching did not disappear from curricula for
second language learners.
Because of you, grammar is today a viable and vigorous component in the ESL/EFL classroom—much to
our students’ benefit. A great deal of current research shows that many if not most of our students benefit greatly
from a grammar component blended with other approaches in a well-balanced program of second language
instruction, Together we have served our students well,
My hat is off to you.

CONTENTS ixPreface to the
Third Edition
Basic English Grammar is a beginning level ESL/EFL developmental skills text in
which grammar serves as the springboard for expanding learners’ abilities in speaking,
writing, listening, and reading. It uses a grammar-based approach integrated with
communicative methodologies. Starting from a foundation of understanding form and
meaning, students engage in meaningful communication about real actions, real
things, and their own real lives in the classroom context.
Teaching grammar is the art of helping students look at how the language works
and engaging them in activities that enhance language acquisition in all skill areas.
‘The direct teaching of grammar to academically oriented adults and young adults is
‘one component of a well-balanced program of second language instruction and can,
much to students’ benefit, be integrated into curricula that are otherwise
content /context-based or task-based.
This third edition has the same basic approach as earlier editions, with new material
throughout. It has
+ student-friendly grammar charts with clear information that is easily understood
by beginning students.
+ numerous exercises to give students lots of practice.
+ more illustrations to help students learn vocabulary, understand contexts, and
‘engage in communicative language tasks.
+ reorganized chapters with expanded practice for high-frequency structures.
+ the option of a student text with or without an answer key in the back.
In addition, the new edition has a greater variety of practice modes, including
+ greatly increased speaking practice through extensive use of interactive pair and
group work.
+ the addition of numerous listening exercises, accompanied by audio CDs, with
listening scripts included in the back of the book.
+ more activities that provide real communication opportunities.
A new Workbook accompanies the student text to provide additional self-study practice.
A Test Bank is also available.HOWTO USE THIS TEXT
GRAMMAR CHARTS
The grammar charts present the target structure by way of example and explanation.
‘Teachers can introduce this material in a variety of way:
a. Present the examples in the chart, perhaps highlighting them on the board. Add
additional examples, relating them to students’ experience as much as possible.
For example, when presenting simple present tense, talk about what students do
every day: come to school, study English, etc.
. Elicit target structures from students by asking questions. (For example, for
simple past tense, ask: What did you do last night?) Proceed to selected
examples in the chart.
c. Instead of beginning with a chart, begin with the first exercise after the chart,
and as you work through it with students, present the information in the chart
or refer to examples in the chart.
. Assign a chart for homework; students bring questions to class. This works best
with a more advanced class.
e. Some charts have a preview exercise or pretest. Begin with these, and use them
as a guide to decide what areas to focus on. When working through the chart,
you can refer to the examples in these exercises.
With all of the above, the explanations on the right side of the chart are most
effective when recast by the teacher, not read word for word. Keep the discussion
focus on the examples. Students by and large learn from examples and lots of
practice, not from explanations. In the charts, the explanations focus attention on
what students should be noticing in the examples and the exercises.
FIRST EXERCISE AFTER A CHART
In most cases, this exercise includes an example of each item shown in the chart.
Students can do the exercise together as a class, and the teacher can refer to chart
examples where necessary. More advanced classes can complete it as homework. The
teacher can use this exercise as a guide to see how well students understand the basics
of the target structure(s).
SENTENCE PRACTICE
‘These exercises can be assigned as either oral or written practice, depending on the
ability and needs of the class. Many of them can also be done as homework or
seatwork.
LET’S TALK
Each “Let's Talk” activity is designated as one of the following: pairwork, small group,
class activity, or interview. These exercises encourage students to talk about their
ideas, their everyday lives, and the world around them. Examples for each are given so
that students can casily transition into the activity, whether it be student- or
teacher-led.
xii PREFACELISTENING
Listening exercises for both form and meaning give exposure to and practice with
spoken English. Listening scripts for teacher use are in the back of the book. ‘Two
audio CDs also accompany the text. Many of the exercises also introduce students to
common features of reduced speech.
‘Teachers may want to play or read aloud some listening scripts one time in their
entirety before asking students to write, so they have some familiarity with the overall
context. Other exercises can be done sentence by sentence.
WRITING
‘As students gain confidence in using the target structures, they are encouraged to
express their ideas in paragraphs and other writing formats. To help students generate
ideas, some of these tasks are combined with “Let’s Talk” activities.
When correcting student writing, teachers may want to focus primarily on the
structures taught in the chapter.
REVIEW EXERCISES
All chapters finish with review exercises; some are cumulative reviews that include
material from previous chapters, so students can incorporate previous grammar with
more recently taught structures.
Each chapter review contains an error-correction exercise. Students can practice
their editing skills by correcting errors commonly found in beginning students’
speaking and writing.
ANSWER KEY
The text is available with or without an answer key in the back. If the answer key is
used, homework can be corrected as a class or, if appropriate, students can correct it
at home and bring questions to class. In some cases, the teacher may want to collect
the assignments written on a separate piece of paper, correct them, and then highlight
common problems in class.
For more teaching suggestions and supplementary material, please refer to the
accompanying Teacher's Guide.
PREFACE xiliAcknowledgment
Janet Johnston was the finest editor an author could ever hope to work with. Wielding
pencils of many colors (with purple seeming to be her personal favorite), she cheerfully
held her authors to account for every single word they wrote. She saw the Azar Series
through thousands of pages of manuscript and proof for more than fifteen years. Each
published page bears the seal of her high standards and keen eye. Her delight in the
process of shaping text was contagious and her technical expertise extraordinary,
making all of us who worked with her enthusiastically reach for our highest level of
professionalism. They simply don’t make editors like Janet anymore, Working with
her has been a privilege and a joy. As we grieve her untimely death from breast
cancer, we will deeply miss her good, sweet friendship as well as her editorial wizardry.
Simply stated, Janet Johnston was, and will always remain, the best of the best.

Talking About the Present. 125Co EXERCISE 7. Let's talk: small groups.
Directions: Work in small groups. Read the chart and follow the instructions.
“Approximate” means “close but not exact.” Here is a fast way to get an
approximate number when you convert from one temperature system to another.*
+ To change Celsius to Fahrenheit: DOUBLE THE CELSIUS NUMBER AND ADD 30.
Examples: 12°C X 2 = 24 + 30 = 54°F, (Exact numbers: 12°C = 53.6°F.)
20°C xX 2 = 40 + 30 = 70°F. (Exact numbers: 20°C = 68°F.)
35°C X 2 = 70 + 30 = 100°F. (Exact numbers: 35°C = 95°F.)
+ To change Fahrenheit to Celsius: SUBTRACT 30 FROM THE FAHRENHEIT NUMBER
AND THEN DIVIDE BY 2.
Examples: 60°F — 30 = 30 + 2 = 15°C. (Exact numbers: 60°F = 15.6°C.)
80°F — 30 = 50 + 2 = 25°C. (Exact numbers: 80°F = 26.7°C.)
90°F — 30 = 60 + 30°C. (Exact numbers: 90°F = 32.2°C.)
*To ger exact numbers, use these formulas: C = 5/9 °F ~ 32) on F = 9/5 (°C) + 32.
Change the following from Celsius to Fahrenheit and Fahrenheit to Celsius. Calculate
the approximate numbers.
