Designed for beginners, students, tourists, and business people, this Oxford Minireference book is a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to all the grammar used in modern German. It contains short, easy-to-follow examples for points of basic grammar, and lays particular emphasis on the differences between the spoken and the written language. There are longer examples from a wide range of newspapers and magazines to show modern usage, and separate sections on word order, prepositions, punctuation, and translation problems. William Rowlinson has also written a mini French Grammar, German Verbs and 10,000 German Words. His other titles include Nous les Francais and Sprich mal Deutsch.
