    My compliments on your fluency. Great display of your vocabulary, over and above the intermediate and advanced. It is a good idea to guide learners that reading authentic material such as books, magazines and the daily news will being a much needed expansion of vocabulary in the different themes of conversation. Textbook learning books have a small range of vocabulary. Nothing like reading and writing on authentic communication.

    eventually, every word has its own grammar.... for an advanced learner who knows the blue Murphy enough (sentence structures, conditionals, preps etc), ... I believe It's better to revise a good advanced level dictionary for the grammar of a particular word... It's very easy to drown in the detail... every one need to find a sweet spot for just enough grammar/vocabulary for their own life/experience/interests.... thank you Beauty for the video... really inspiring... and a good comparison of the most famous grammar books...👍

    After years of experience with all of them, multiple versions, only decent one is navy blue one. For everyone between lower intermediate up till upper intermediate level. As for Advanced version - at best confusing. When it comes to this level and this series I cna only honestly recommend Advanced Vocabulary in Use, no matter which edition really. All these are good. There are way better books for this level. For complete beginners Essential one is ok but not a a stand alone resource and not for self-study.

    I hadn't been studying for 7 years. It's a pretty long time. Isn't it? Recently, I needed to review the English grammar for IELTS. There were almost 10 topics and sections which i had to review for IELTS grammar rules. Unfortunately, I've forgot it all. Tense Systems are still nightmares for me.😂 I took a mock test to know my current English level. Surprisingly, my results were not that too bad. During the test, I just automatically focus on what sounds right for the answers because TV-shows might be doing the work for me.😂 For all those years I watched shows finally paid off I think. Finally, I come to know that grammar is just part of the language. I asked myself that "Do I fully understand my native language grammar?". I speak my language everyday but I don't really know the rules and structures. By the way, I still need a lot to do on my grammar knowledge. Thank you for your suggest. It seems that the Blue Murphy might be the right one for me. 😂😂

    Hi Lady, I would like to know your opinion on a subject. I already speak and read fluently, but I make some mistakes in speaking and many mistakes in writing. Do you believe that the Intermediate book has enough grammar content to make these corrections and improvements? After many years of trauma in learning grammar due to terrible teachers, I managed to understand how beautiful grammar is and can be an auxiliary tool to accelerate the learning of another language. Do you think the advanced book is indispensable too? I have no intention of writing books or doing academic research, I just need to communicate well with friends, in my job and write technical texts from the information technology area. I'm asking this because I put together a study plan for 3 months to analyze all the content of the intermediate book and have a solid foundation to move forward on my journey. If you say that the advanced book has relevant content that you didn't find in the intermediate book then I will put together a 5-month study plan. To give you an idea of ​​how important it is for me, I left my job to dedicate myself 100% to this study during the 3 months. I will only go back to looking for a job in my field after I feel it resolves these shortcomings in my English.

    I haven't taken TOEFL, but, as I understand, it's quite similar to IELTS, which I has taken in the past. Grammar is only one part of what you need to study to ace the test, but yes, I do think that Advanced Grammar in Use might be helpful for you. However, I also believe that mastering all grammar aspects from the Blue Murphy might be more than enough to get a high score in the exam. Grammar is only a tool that will help you create correct sentences and express yourself in English via speaking and writing. No-one will test your grammar in a direct way. The most important thing is that you work on eliminating your most common and annoying grammar mistakes, not on forcing ALL advanced grammar structures into your essays and speech. At least, that's what I've been taught while studying for IELTS.

    Go through a TOEFL sample tests book as your main thing, and keep the grammar book on hand next to you, whichever fuller one you have :) When you run into things that aren't familiar to you, look for them in the grammar book and practice that unfamiliar point for a little bit, tying it into the test practise . Instead of just doing grammar exercises day and night. It's very important to be familiar with the speed of speech in the test, with their texts, structure , etc. and the familiarity only comes from doing many-many of the past papers.

    If you're a beginner, then the Red Murphy (Essential Grammar in Use) will be better for you. However, if you're a complete beginner, then consider finding a grammar book with explanations in your native language. I learned the basics of English grammar in this way.

    An Edition published in your country with comments for native speakers of your native language. A complete beginner is A0 level ( A1 is after 1 year or 1, 5 year of learning- about 100h- 120 or 150 h of language learning). Doesn't have to be this series. Book like this with comments in English only should be used from level B1 with a teacher and from level B2 can be used with minimal help of the teacher. There are level A0 grammar books for teens or for young learners, so look for such.

    Grammar in Use Advanced has 100 units but I have an older edition of this book consisting of 120 units. 16 units are devoted to tenses. Why did they decreased the number of units in the new edition? Anyway it's a great textbook that teaches grammar rules thoroughly

    Interesting. On their website, it's said that "This revised edition focuses specifically on the complexities of grammatical choices that advanced students need to appreciate." More basic information about tenses is probably in the Intermediate version already.

    Revising the grammar from the Blue Murphy and consolidating your knowledge can still benefit you and your English. You can also use some grammar resources from the internet, like this one www.englishpage.com/. It has a lot of good exercises on quite a few topics, and you might find them a nice addition to the Murphy book.
