The Ultimate Guide to GMAT Verbal: Grammar and Sentence Correction by Jay Stewart is a fully comprehensive resource for both ESL learners and native english speakers.Stewart provides an impressive guide of essentials for good writing, detailing the concepts of purity, perspicuity, and precision, as well as including a breakdown of the english language that is concise and understandable. Explained in depth are the parts of language, from article to interjection and sentence classification.The most useful sections for me were those focused on sentence correction, error detection by error type with examples and common grammatical errors. For instance, using words like “economic” and “economical” can be incredibly confusing for non-native speakers, and even words like “further” and “farther” often cause native speakers to stumble.In the back of the book, there are a number of sample questions with answers and explanations that are seriously helpful and awesome. This is a highly recommended resource for the GMAT, but also for anyone that is putting words to paper.
