Vademecum of English

This handbook is intended as a reference aid for both teachers and students of English. It concentrates all the relevant information related to a specific subject in a few charts, helping the user spot the important issues at a glance, including examples and main exceptions. Divided into four parts —Phonetics, Grammar, Vocabulary, and Etymology— the user will discover why many “irregular” verbs are not so irregular, why English spelling is not as chaotic as it seems, and how easy it is to enrich your vocabulary with hundreds of words by just paying attention to roots and affixes all in charts and tables.
