University Grammar - Of English With A Swedish Perspective

Swedish phrasal verbs ( gå ut , komma in ) mirror English particle verbs ( go out , come in ). The trap is that the particle often stands in final position in Swedish subordinate clauses, whereas English keeps it attached to the verb. A university grammar with a Swedish perspective provides a dedicated conversion table for 200+ particle verbs, contrasting slå upp (ett ord) with look up (a word) , and crucially, warning against the Swedish habit of splitting the verb from its particle in formal English writing.

A is not a book to read passively. It is designed for active, contrastive learning. University Grammar Of English With A Swedish Perspective
