Book Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive review of grammatical structures and usage for intermediate to advanced students of German. Those who have had some exposure to German grammar in their earlier German courses can fine-tune their accuracy. While this book was written primarily for use in a course dedicated to a rigorous review of German grammar, it could also be used by students in conversation, culture, and literature courses.
