The second edition of Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar Workbook is an innovative book of exercises and language tasks for all learners of Brazilian Portuguese. The book is divided into two sections: • Part A provides exercises based on essential grammatical structures • Part B practises everyday functions (e.g. making social contact, asking questions and expressing needs). A comprehensive answer key at the back of the book enables you to check on your progress. The Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar Workbook is ideal for all learners who have a basic knowledge of Brazilian Portuguese, including undergraduates taking Brazilian Portuguese as a major or minor part of their studies, as well as intermediate and advanced school, adult education and self-study students. While primarily intended for use in conjunction with Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar: A Practical Guide, it can also serve as an independent resource.

Reviews for Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar Workbook (2nd Ed)
John Whitlam's Modern Portuguese Brazilian Grammar is a wonderful supplement to my Portuguese textbook. It offers dimensional explanations and a broad range of examples of language use. I often assign material from this guide and the corresponding workbook to students who want to fast track their acquisition of Portuguese. - Dr Cynthia Sloan, Associate Professor of Portuguese and Spanish, Portland Stage University
