CHECK YOUR GRAM M AR LEVEL: Issue 1Almost twelve million learners worldwide have already found the Grammar in Use series the best way to
solve their grammar problems. Use this guide to help you decide which books you need.
Each sentence can be completed by using one or more of the alternatives (A, B, C, etc.). There are
between two and five alternatives each time. In some sentences more than one answer is possible. If
you are not sure which of the alternatives are correct, then you probably need to study the unit(s) listed
on the right. You will also find the correct sentence in this unit. (If two or three units are listed, you will
find the correct sentence in the first one.)
