Essential Source to Intermediate Japanese Grammar

The Dictionary of Japanese Grammar series is simply the best grammar series I have ever come across in any language. The authors do an excellent job of combining complex linguistic explanations, complete with examples of both correct and incorrect sentences. Everything is easy to understand. This time, the focus is on intermediate and upper intermediate students (N3-N2)

This book builds on the knowledge acquired in the previous one, with its strengths and weaknesses. It serves both as its own and as a reference.

The cornerstone of any valuable grammar dictionary lies in its collection of example sentences. In addition to explaining the mechanics and nuances of grammar points, this series boasts a wealth of examples that offer a natural context for usage and dispel any uncertainties. With Japanese and English indices, it facilitates the prompt categorization and identification of structures, proving beneficial for translating Japanese text sources and expressing innovative ideas in Japanese with finesse. Alongside its two accompanying dictionaries (Basic and Advanced), Makino and Tsutsui's series presents a comprehensive and authoritative overview of Japanese grammar.
