ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

All praises belong to Allah S.W.T., the Almighty, the only creator of this universe and

His Messenger, as the greatest creature for the entire creation. Peace and blessing of Allah be

upon his prophet Muhammad, who has made him best of the best person here and after.

Hopefully, we can gather with Muhammad’s colleagues, companions, descendants, and

followers on judgment day.

Proudly the compiler acknowledges that he is not the best grammatical mastery. He just

tries his best to guide the beginners in studying English, especially in learning grammar. The

compiler tends to make the students easier to understand the basic structure for making

sentences so the students can develop their English to the next level after understanding the

basics.

The compiler also thanks his best parents who have trusted him to make this book and

encourage in every condition fully. The best gratitude of the compiler goes to the teachers of

BEC (Basic English Course) Pare and all of the English lectures of UIN Surakarta who have

taught me some English lessons so this book has been compiled briefly.

Correction and constructive suggestions are welcomed to complete and perfect this

written exercise book. Thank you so much.
