A Communicative Grammar of English provides an up-to-date and accessible resource for teachers , advanced learners and undergraduate students of English . The book is divided into three parts : Part one looks at different types of English such as formal and informal , spoken and written . Part two presents grammar in a solely communicative context and focuses on the uses of grammar rather than on grammatical structure and Part three provides a useful , alphabetically arranged guide to English grammar .
