is that the contents or explanations in the book are very easy to understand
by readers, and each chapter has practice questions that can train readers'
comprehension skills.

 CHAPTER IV
CLOSSING

A. Consclusion
Based on my review or understanding of grammar in this
book, I conclude that the level of difficulty in learning English grammar is
quite relative, but back to how we learn about grammar. if we understand
the grammar and grammar structure of English correctly, then learning
grammar is not as difficult as we imagine, if we don't fully understand the
material being understood, then we will have difficulty applying it to
everyday life.

B. Sugesstion
The suggestion for this book is to give pictures in the future
so that is look interesting and not boring, and to improve the apperance of
the book like the writing
