9The English Grammar: Step by Step series is unique because it is specifically designed for Spanish-speaking students who have little or no knowledge of Spanish or English grammar. English Grammar: Step by Step 1 covers basic punctuation and capitalization in English; the verbs to be and to have; contractions with to be; and possessive adjectives (my, his, her, etc.). It also includes more than a thousand exercises, with answers, and a dictionary that includes all of the words used in the book. An accompanying book, Teaching English: Step By Step 1, provides listening and speaking exercises that accompany the grammar exercises presented in English Grammar: Step by Step 1.
