Revised edition - 2023 - with more examples and even clearer explanations.
As far as vocabulary is concerned, mastering English is not so much about learning more and more new words, let alone lists of words that one may never meet again in a lifetime; it is more about better mastering the common words that are first introduced at beginner level, but play a vital role in all written and spoken communication – from the most simple conversational English to the most complex formal writing.
It is a reality of short common words that they often have multiple meanings and different uses.
This book explains in clear detail the grammar and usage of over fifty of the most frequently used and confused words in English. Common little words like as, so, ever, there and enough, with their different meanings and usages, can be a constant source of problems and mistakes for learners of English and in many cases for native speakers too.

For any learner or teacher of English, fully mastering the uses and meanings of these everyday words is far more important that learning new vocabulary beyond the first thousand or so words that are essential for a basic mastery of everyday English.

Nine of the words – including that, as, do, all, there and their – are actually among the 50 most frequently used words in English; almost all the rest appear in the list of the 500 most commonly used words in English – the vital words that constitute the hard core of all communication in the English language.

This book is designed to help teachers and learners get to grips with those among the common everyday words in English that are the easiest to confuse or misuse. Explaining their different uses, it points out some of the most frequent errors and difficulties, and is copiously illustrated with the help of hundreds of clear examples.
